Approach

Travel along the South Mathias River is straightforward, generally utilising the true right. Despite providing access to four peaks on the Main Divide, the valley is rarely visited by mountaineers. The col at the head of the river is informally known as Observation Col (1816 metres) and leads to Cattle Stream and hence the Rakaia River via a straightforward crossing.
