An easy descent WSW from Mt Gomorrah leads to the bushline and the saddle with Mt Baldy. Bush on the ridge is scrubby, but open travel exists just down the NW face. Once onto broad open tops SE of Mt Baldy these can be followed through rolling tussock to the next saddle where open bush and good game trails provide easy travel to the peak NE of John Reid Hut. Once on the ridgeline, follow it west for 300m to where a signpost marks the start of a poled descent leading directly to John Reid Hut, 200m below to the south at the bushedge.
