A good cut / marked track runs up the ridge between Pinchgut Hut and Bob's Camp Bivvy. Cross the creek at the hut (small, jumpable in most conditions) and head up the face beyond up the signposted track. The track climbs steeply to the ridgeline, then sidles the north face, ending at the bushedge. A poled route climbs from there back to the grassy ridgeline, which it follows west. The ridgeline is a mixture of beech forest and clearings, with the forested sections tracked and the clearings poled.

After crossing the highpoint, the track drops to a clear saddle and swings south. Climbing south from the saddle it reaches the bushedge again - where a signpost marks the turnoff to Bob;s Camp Biv. The biv is 500m away down the sidetrack on a saddle in beech forest,
