La Perouse (New Zealand) is a mountain in New Zealand's Southern Alps, rising to a height of 3,078 metres (10,098 ft). It is located in the Southern Alps of the South Island, four kilometres to the southwest Aoraki / Mount Cook. Unlike Aoraki / Mount Cook, La Perouse sits on the South Island's Main Divide, on the border between Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park and Westland Tai Poutini National Park. La Perouse was the scene of the most arduous rescue in New Zealand’s climbing history in 1948, where Ruth Adams was injured and had to be carried on a stretcher over the summit and through deep gorges to the West Coast road. She was a member in a climbing party including Harry Ayres, Mick Sullivan and Sir Edmund Hillary.[1]
