The route lay straightup the ice towards a great gateway of the hillsthat lies between Mounts Victoria and Lefroy.This narrow passage has been called TheDeath - Trap, for during the early summer,and in years when much snow lies on themountains, it is a dangerous place to ventureinto, on account of the avalanches that fallfrom Lefroy on one side and Victoria on theother. The description of the remainder of theexpedition is given in Professor H. B. Dixonswords : ^— Passing the two snow couloirs whichdescend from chimneys in the north-west cliff,we entered the so-called * Death-Trap—a mdeslope of snow leading up at an easy angle toAbbot Pass. As we breasted the slope wewere met by several small erratic pieces fromthe upper rocks of Lefroy, which came skippingdown the snow with unpleasant velocity, givingus an early warning of the unstable state of the 1 ^Alpine Journal (Harold B.

The steep slope was snow-covered, except where the limestone ledgescropped out, roughly marking off the ascent intothree sections. The slope is best seen fromopposite on Mount Victoria. Having breakfasted,we roped up in three parties and struck straightup the snow to the first patch of rocks. Theslope gradually steepened as we rose, but thesnow was good, and we could kick firm stepsin it. After a steady grind we reached therocks, which proved to be both steep and rotten.For a few minutes we enjoyed the variation ofwriggling our bodies over the ledges, though itwould have been quicker to go round.
