Mt Somers is one of the best climbing areas in Canterbury. The Mt Somers Track is a 1–2 day circuit around Mt Somers, linking the popular Pinnacles and Woolshed Creek huts. The track was created by the Mt Somers Walkways Society, which was established in 1983 and comprises both Mt Somers and Staveley locals. While the track is now managed by the Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai (DOC), there is still a close association between the two organisations. If you intend to walk only one way from Woolshed Creek car park and require vehicle transport, a local service is available (phone 03 303 0809 before you start your trip).
