The summit is named after the Austrian zoologist and mountaineer Robert J. Lendlmayer von Lendenfeld. It is on the northeast ridge of Mount Tasman, separated from it by the Engineer Col (3093 m). It is normally climbed from the New Zealand Alpine Club hut on the Fox Glacier. The normal route from the Marcel Col (2,987 metres or 9,800 feet) over the east ridge is a relatively easy ascent in good conditions. The best time to climb this mountain is between September and March.[3]
