This can be a useful spur when planning a round trip along ranges from the Hokitika roadend. A long and overgrowing marked route (which DOC plans to re-cut) leads from J33 496023 / BV18 396 407 in Diedrichs Creek, up Gerhardt Spur to Gerhardt Bivouac (DOC, two bunks). The spur leads easily on to Jumble Top. To access the Diedrichs Range going south, descend from Gerhardt Bivvy to the forks at J33 552019 / BV19 453 403 and climb up the gully to the range beside Pt 1610 metres.
