From Wakiamaka Hut, ascend the riverbed to the 3rd fork shown on maps. Here look out for the start of a warratah-marked track climbing the southern face. This climbs above a waterfall, crosses to a narrow spur between two forks of the creek, and follows it up to the saddle. Some parts of the climb are scrambles on the narrow spur.
