Heading north from the Toka Biv turnoff the routre continues on tussock and gravel tops. Crossing 2 minor peaks, the ridgeline is narrow and can be dodgy in slippery conditions. A steep 120m climb takes you up to the summit of the third peak, Tunupo, from where a poled route / track drops NW to Alice Nash Heritage Memorial Lodge.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

South of Tunupo the Ngamoko Range is steep and narrow. The descent of the peak is steep and can be tricky in snow / after rain. The route is unmarked by clear and well traveled through tussock and gravel. On the third minor peak, a signpost points east down a faint spur towards Toka Biv.
