From Bush Corner, the well maintained, cut, marked track continues SSE, dropping to a saddle before climbing gently to pt790. A clearing on the summit is the old heli-pad, and the former site of Waiopehu Hut is just beyond on the eastern face, marked by a faded sign.

The tramping track continues SSE for another 600m through bush before it finally breaks out into low scrub for the final 300m to the hut. The views of both the main range to the south-east and over the coast beyond Levin are spectacular.
