Part of
The mountains above the lower Matukituki valley can sometimes peek out from behind the rain shadow of the greater alps and provide good scrambling when a mountain fix is desired. The lower valley climbs, apart from the winter waterfall routes, are mostly grade I or II requiring little more than an ice axe and crampons. Beware of loose rock.
