Mount Somers / Te Kiekie is a mountain in the South Island of New Zealand, located in the foothills of the Southern Alps.

The mountain's Māori name, Te Kiekie, refers to a chief who arrived on the Āraiteuru canoe.

[1] Māori traversed the area both to access the timber and wildlife of Alford Forest and to exploit their discovery of a hard greenish stone (Surrey Hills Tuff porcelainite) for making knives and adzes.

Mount Somers / Te Kiekie is of volcanic origin, though, as an overlay of the Torlesse Composite Terrane.

There are areas of andesite, rhyolite, basalt and ignimbrite that erupted 89 million years ago that form part of the Mount Somers Volcanic Group that extends to the Banks Peninsula.

[7] A more challenging route to Woolshed Creek Hut is via the Rhyolite Ridge Track past an overhang which is named the Bus Stop.

A once popular destination, Sharplin Falls (on Bowyers Stream), closed in February 2015 after rockfall took out that part of the track that was built as a gantry on a rock face.

Two years later, the Department of Conservation announced that the closure of the side track to Sharplin Falls would be permanent.

The hut was named for the rock formation behind it on the north face of Mount Somers / Te Kiekie.
