Jagged Peak
Jagged Peak is a mountain in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand.
Description
Jagged Peak is located west of Christchurch on the South Island. It is set in the Arrowsmith Range of the Southern Alps. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's northwest slope drains into the headwaters of the Lawrence River, the northeast slope drains to the Rakaia River via Jagged Stream, and the south slope drains into the headwaters of the Cameron River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above the Lawrence Glacier in one kilometre, and above the Cameron Glacier in 0.5 kilometre. The nearest higher peak is Mount Arrowsmith, three kilometres to the southwest.Climbing
