This is a tough 7Hr walk on steep ground!! The track climbs slightly as it follows the remains of one of the tramways used for removing trees previously and then climbs steeply to Manuka Flat. This takes 30-40 minutes. Some trees are down across the track and have to be clambered over. There are a couple of very steep sections and mud makes it a bit slippery in wet conditions. From Manuka Flat the track firstly sidles left slightly and climbs gently around the slope of the hill, then climbs steeply and directly up the hill. There is now a long solid climb to the plateau. At the top, the track suddenly turns right along the hill, and a small trickle of water provides a welcome drink at a point with a good view back across the walk route. The track then switches back to the left and climbs onto the plateau to the "hut". The hut is in an advanced state of disrepair, and the only useful features here are the huge wall which provides some shelter from the wind, and the remains of the chimney, which helps support a sheet of tin that might provide shelter from the rain. The track then heads off across the moor, past a cairn, and becomes muddy in places. From here the aim is the northern moraine wall above the boggy area which forms the source of Creekton Rivulet. The track climbs steadily to the base of this moraine across some boggy areas, then up onto it and follows the crest onto the main summit ridge. It climbs steeply up the ridge, sidling around the left a little before crossing back to the right just below a rocky knob. The track drops slightly, then climbs again on large boulders marked with cairns. Finally you emerge at a rounded summit, marked by a large cairn made of ice-shattered dolerite shards.
