From Waipawa Saddle, head SE up the tussock spur towards the Thee Johns. The route is unmarked and the ground trail faint. This spur joins the ridgeline 60m below the summit, where you can swing west and skip the rest of the climb to the Three Johns Summit. A long, gentle climb follows on broad tops of tussock and later shingle to reach Rangioteatua. This unmarked, rounded summit is the junction with an unmarked route up from Rangi Saddle to the west,.
