The track is a well-marked circuit with one hut – Kapakapanui Hut – en-route.

Taking the southern branch of the track to the summit, a steady 700m climb through changing undergrowth and bush is made to the trig.

Views open in all directions from here.

Continue on to the six-bunk Kapakapanui Hut where you can turn the trip into an overnighter.
