Corner Pk

Start up the marked track 100m past the road bridge over the Timaru River. A kilometre on, leave the 4wd track and follow poles up the flank. The track follows the ridge but sidle Pt1410. Further on, the sidle of Pt1371 needs care. The marked track finishes before a well worn foot track - frozen in winter - sidles Pt1528 across to the wide saddle below the summit which is 200m above. 6hrs return.

Head up the Timaru River route from the car park at the bridge. The water is always discoloured with silt and if levels are above normal, crossings will be dangerous. The numerous crossings increase in difficulty until well upriver. The High River Track may be a much better option. From Junction Hut, trace Deer Spur Creek to the forks and take the western branch for a couple of hundred metres until it is easier to climb out onto a tussock terrace to the west. Route find through scrubby guts near the beech edge and continue north aiming to meet the East Ridge above the saddle. A steep gut gives access to the South Ridge 50m below the summit.

From the Dingle Burn Rd carpark, bike to Rocky Point Creek. Follow up the creek until able to get onto the North Ridge. Sections of scrub and boulders lead to the open tussock ridge. The ridge steepens after Pt1416 and is exhilarating but not difficult. Contact Dingle Burn Station for access permission off the road: 027 509 3015.
