Views are well worth the effort getting up here.
I walked in from Timms Creek car park at the end of Te Rou Rd.
It took me 5 hrs to reach the top and another 1 1/2 getting to Fell Hut.
There are a few variation on how to go about this cache. I carried on to Nelson from Fell Hut the next day. It took me 9 1/2 hours to reach the Maitai forks gate from Fell Hut.
