From Mid Waiohine Hut, the track ascends at a steady gradient NW for 10 minutes before swingign west and becoming extremely steep. A 1000m grunt follows to the bushline up a well cut but precipitous track through mature bush. At the bushline the gradient becomes pleasant and a stroll up the remaining 200m at a more civilised gradient follows to Isabelle summit. A low steep saddle separates Isabelle from Holdsworth and through tall tussock on a little used track it's slow going. A signpost just south of Mt Holdsworth marks the junction with the well used and obvious Holdsworth-Jumbo circuit track.
