Access

From the Hospital Flat car park, cross the road and stile and follow the marked track to the gate just before Kai Whaka Pai Crag. Go through the gate then head uphill on cattle tracks to the right of the Diamond Lake creek, skirting the swampy basin to the right. At the top of the next rise, veer right over a low saddle, cross a small creek and traverse to the crag.
