Mount Mannering (New Zealand)
Mount Mannering is a mountain in New Zealand.
Description
Mount Mannering is situated on the crest or Main Divide of the Southern Alps and on the boundary of Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park. It is located west of the city of Christchurch and set on the common boundary shared by the Canterbury and West Coast Regions of the South Island. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains west into the Whataroa River and east to the Godley River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above the Classen Glacier in one kilometre. The nearest higher neighbour is Mount Aylmer, four kilometres to the southwest. This mountain's toponym honours the well-known New Zealand mountaineer Guy Mannering, who began climbing in the mountains about 1883. The first ascent of the summit was made on 7 March 1914 by Otto Frind and Conrad Kain.Climbing
