Unfortunately the cut track from Bluff Hut ends just below Steadman Creek, and though the poled route continues, it is solid with speargrass and the creek-bed will probably be a less painful route. The Hokitika is small by this stage, and crossing should almost never be an issue. Continue upriver using whatever route seems easiest until you see the low-point of Frew Saddle on your right.
