East Ridge

From the Waihopai valley, walk up Gosling Stream to Gosling Hut (6 bunks, standard, no mattresses). From Gosling Hut, continue upstream for about 1.2 km and take the true left fork. Once on the ridge, a deep cleft and gendarme at about 1880m requires a rope, but this could be avoided by climbing a steep gully from the north-east basin.
