Cross the Delta Burn (if necessary) near its mouth where crossings are easiest. Knee deep in normal flows. Head SW and pick up the obvious spur climbing towards Mt Martin. An initial climb (not shown on maps) to terraces near the river is very steep but the main spur is ok. A second terrace exists at about 400m (not shown on the map) and is easy to mistake for the main terrace at 500m. Travel is slow to pt556 due to thick fern and windfall.
