| juneauhiker | Sunrise on Sefton & Cook  Date Climbed: Feb 22, 2012 | |
| Rain was our companion up to the Mueller hut but the met service's forecast proved true and I got great sunrise views the next morning. We even made it back to the van just before the rain started again. | |

| rgg | Great views all around Date Climbed: Feb 8, 2007 | |
| There was a local summit not far from Mueller Hut. Further south on the ridge, the next local summit appeared to be higher, so I went there too. According to the hut warden at the time, that one is the real summit, but, not knowing, most people don't go that far. The weather was fine, but I didn't look like it would stay that way. There were clouds rolling in from the west - massive clouds in fact. | |

| zebedee | a brilliant walk Date Climbed: Jan 8, 2011 | |
| we got absolutely beautiful weather this weekend, the hut warden said it was as good as any day he had seen in his 7 years there. this was the best trek on my trip to NZ. the peak is only 30 mins past mueller hut, there are a few false peaks but you will spot the massive rock cairn at the peak. | |

| Decided to bag this after a walk up to the Meuller Hut. The views of Sefton and Mt Cook were spectacular! Not a cloud in the sky. Fantastic views of the Hooker valley, Mt Cook and the occasional avalanche thundering off Sefton. | |

| Superb views!!! Spent an hour on the summit, wasting my camera's batteries :-) The climb to Mueller hut and the quick scramble to Mt. Ollivier are highly worth the effort. | |

| Headed for a stroll after dinner to the summit, from which I witnessed a glorious sunset. Headed out there again the next day to snap some pictures of the surrounding ranges as the sun rose - spectacular. | ||

| I had the hut to myself on account of miserable weather - I could hear avalanches roaring down off of Mt. Sefton about every fifteen seconds all night long. The clouds lifted above the summit for about ten minutes while I was on top - a spectacular adventure for such a little bump of a mountain! | |
