Mount Chudleigh is a 2,966-metre-elevation (9,731-foot) mountain in New Zealand.

Description

Mount Chudleigh is set in the Malte Brun Range of the Southern Alps and is situated in the Canterbury Region of South Island. This remote peak is located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) east of Aoraki / Mount Cook in Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Tasman River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,966 metres (6,450 feet) above the Murchison River in 3.4 kilometres and over 1,866 metres (6,122 feet) above the Tasman Glacier in 3.7 kilometres. The nearest higher peak is Malte Brun, three kilometres to the northeast. The first ascent of Chudleigh was made in 1911 by Hugh Chambers, Freda Du Faur, and Jim Murphy. The mountain's toponym was applied by mountaineers Arthur Paul Harper and Guy Mannering after E.R. Chudleigh, a sheep farmer in the Rangitata District.

Climbing

Climbing routes on Mount Chudleigh:

• North West Ridge – Hugh Chambers, Freda Du Faur, Jim Murphy – (1911)
• North Face (descent) - Mike Andrews, Donald Cargo – (1973)
• North Face – S. Hancock, T. Murray – (1988)

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Chudleigh is located in a marine west coast (Cfb) climate zone, with a subpolar oceanic climate (Cfc) at the summit. Prevailing westerly winds blow moist air from the Tasman Sea onto the mountains, where the air is forced upward by the mountains (orographic lift), causing moisture to drop in the form of rain or snow. This climate supports the Barkley, Onslow, Lecky, Reay, Walpole, and Langdale glaciers on the peak's slopes. The months of December through February offer the most favourable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.
