Access

There is a marked track to Unwin Crag & takes about 20 mins. Immediately behind Unwin Hut cross the stile and diagonal towards the fence running up towards the watertanks. Aim for a gap in the matagouri. There is an orange marker where you can cross the fence. Head towards the base of the hill fence to the base of the hill. After about 100m there is a large rock at the base of a vegetated gully and a large cairn. Head up the faint gully then work up and R. Traverse to the clearings until well right of the crag before heading up. The tape mentioned on the photo does not exist.
