Thread: Mt Bealey access

Hi I’m heading up Mt. Bealey for s bit of change of scenery this week for a overnighter.Planing to take the track up behind the village and side round to the top of Halpin basin.
Has anyone been there? Are there other tracks closer to Klondyke corner that are more suited to hunters?
Or am I better to climb up from the waimakariri side?
I don’t want to exhaust myself doing it the hard way ( but no doubt I will anyway) I’m keen to get a chamois for eating. I’m not after a big pair of hooks. Any knowledge would be appreciated. Message me if you wish.
