Frew Hut to Mathias Pass via Frew Saddle

A track leads up into Frew Creek as marked. In the upper basin, travel is in the stream bed, climbing
out on the true left at 1100 metres where the stream steepens into waterfalls. Frew Bivouac (DOC, two
bunks) is just west of Frew Saddle.
To reach Mathias Pass, descend from the north end of Frew Saddle to the upper Hokitika River
and follow it up. Travel is easy, campsites exist and Mathias Pass is not difficult. Water is available near
the pass.
