North East Face

Access easiest from the Rock Burn via Theatre Flat. Many options exist from here.
Reasonable access has been made going up the side stream with marked 85m waterfall until where the waterfall is visible and the stream starts to enter a gorge. Here, plunge uphill to the true right into a thick bush edge which soon relents to mature beech trees on the spur, then follow good travel via more open forest and animal tracks to gain the basin NE of Pt 1800 (and upper reaches of the stream with marked 40m waterfall).
From here follow the stream upwards to gain the higher basin (1400-1500m elevation) below the NE face. A waterfall at 1360m is bypassed easily on scree slopes to the true right. Travel from this basin to the N side couloir is made via slabs, snow and gullies close under Pt 1800. Campsites are scarce 1300-1650m, but abundant on bedrock ledges higher.
