Summiting Mount Nelson is a challenging ascent, and the weather can turn quickly on this exposed rocky mountain. The summit is marked with a cross, and a class 2-3 scramble is required. From the tops there are views of Sultana Peak, Mount Catherine, and Mount Trafalgar. Begin your summit attempt early in the morning.
