Minarapa Valley

From Holly Hut travel back towards North Egmont on the Holly Hut Track to the second streambed, just short of the track junction to Ahukawakawa Swamp. Follow the Minarapa Stream bed and a waterfall at approximately 1350m can be passed by traversing the eastern slopes under the Cake. Climb up the valley, due south, continuing over steepening terrain and short cliff sections, at your choice. Pass just east of the Turtle nose at 2300m on loose ground and continue up the craggy Heberley Ridge to the summit at 2518m. Descent: Via Carrington Ridge route.
