From the parkjing area at the Rimutaka Hill Rd summit, a graveled track leads noirth along the ridgeline. The roadbed soon ends, replaced by a poorly maintained tramping track winding along the ridgeline.

The first kilometer or so is scrubby, with more gorse than is pleasant, but has views of the Wairarapa and Kaitoke. At the 2nd saddle the track enters bush and is far clearer and less scrubby. Unfortunately at pt653 the scrub and gorse returns, and the track markers and cutting ceases for the last 300m to the pylon. A short 4wd track leads north to join the pylon track at the tiop of its ascent from Kaitoke.
