Time required: From Rogers hut via Rogers Peak, 6 hours; via the Swiss Névé, 5 hours. From Glacier to Rogers hut, 3-4 hours.

Usually a night is spent at the hut in order to cross Rogers Glacier and Swiss Névé early while the snow is in good condition.

Green Mt.—Name: By the Topographical Survey, after W. S. Green, author of "Among the Selkirk Glaciers."

Altitude: 8,860 feet.

Location: On the west side of Loop Brook; the pivotal point of Mt. Bonney Ridge extending south-east and Ross Peak Ridge extending north-east.

First Ascent: By A. A. McCoubrey with guide Ernest Feuz in 1910, who climbed at the same time, the two un-named virgin peaks between Mt. Green and Ross Peak.

Route: Reached from Glacier via the railway. Loop Brook, and Green Glacier.

Time required: 2 days; one night in camp in the valley of Loop Brook. For novices a Swiss guide is necessary.

View: It commands inclusive views of the Hermit Range. Bonney Amphitheatre, and miles of the Illecillewaet Valley looking westward and all that lies beyond it.

Green Glacier—Name: By the Topographical Survey with reference to Mt. Green.

Altitude: 6.000—9,000 feet.

Location: West of Loop Brook, of which it is a source, between Bonney Glacier and Mt. Green. It is only separated from Bonney Glacier by a medial moraine.
