A remote and very long route from the Waiau Toa Clarence valley. The start of the ridge at Haycock Saddle can be reached in two ways. One is from the end of the 4WD track at Stony Flat on the south bank of the Waiau Toa Clarence River (55 km from Kahutara Bridge on the Inland Kaikoura Road). The alternative is from the lower Waiau Toa Clarence, via George Saddle and then up Jam Stream. A rocky tower at 2130m is the main obstacle.
