From the biv, follow the creek for about 1km down the valley. This involves the usual mix of sidling, rock-hopping and wet feet. The sidle track starts where indicated on the map, and is well marked, well cut (2006), but still very slow going: narrow with steep dropoffs and many, many roots. Overall the trip took twice my estimated time. The track reaches the Whitcombe at the confluence with Tom Creek. Older maps show Frew Hut located here, but the new hut has been relocated 500m upriver to the confluence with Frew Creek itself. A good track runs up the eastern bank of the Whitcombe past the hut.
