This trip will take place on Tuesday 2nd March, so may suit those who find it difficult to get out on our weekend trips.

The track starts at the Sharplin Falls carpark, climbs over Hookey Knob to a plateau area, then ascends to the summit (1688 m) via a ridge on the south face of the mountain.  Good views in all directions are obtained from the top.

The walk takes 6 to 8 hours, and a good level of fitness is necessary.  An early start from Timaru will be necessary.
