Narrative

A broad pass, at 700m on the ridge between Edisto Glacier and Tucker Glacier, and lying two miles ESE of Football Mountain and 3 1/2 miles WNW of Mt Vernon Harcourt. The pass is an all-snow route that can crossed with sledges, but there are two other saddles immediately to the east and west of Football Mountain that are no higher, and are more easily crossed on foot, though more difficult with sledges because they are steeper and in volve stretches of bare rock. Named by the NZ Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition 1957-58 because of its proximity to The Football.
