From pt1433 broad tops can be followed south past numerous trans and good campspots towards Mt Bowen.

After 1.5km the broad ridge narrows to a knife-edge ridgeline. A viable route follows the ridgeline to Mt Bowen, but it is very narrow in places, and includes on short 5m section of steep exposed scramble at about 1600m above the head of Rapid Creek. Good weather conditions are advised for this route.

At 1800m the narrow ridge joins the broader Mikonui Spur and the remaining route to the summit is straight forward.
