Depends on how you plan to get in there.... Waipawa Saddle is the worst route in the Ruahines. PERIOD. If you are flying in, the leatherwood around the tops is a prick, combined with the Spanish Bayonet towards Rangi Saddle and the tops - I wish you luck. River hunting is prosperous, albeit you will cover a few miles - and if heading downriver towards Wakelings you will get your balls wet.
Hate to sound cynical - but best of luck beating your 5 pointer....

...The hut is really nice now though: HTC have just put on a new veranda and tank water. Plenty of firewood around and a newish stove/fireplace: it's a great place when its cold.

..probably not, but you have to work for it: and have pretty good suction going down the West side.

My grandad drove a bulldozer half way up there for a hut site...
You can still kinda see the track on the terrace....before they decided to put it where the chalet is now.
Must of been about 50 years ago now.
