Cross the Snowy at the forks - at the base of the escarpment which starts downriver of the confluence there is a good shallow spot.
Climb onto the escarpment on the true left (south) of the Snowy and follow the flats east to the start of the Snowy Gorge valley. Remain on the TL (south) to the forks with the stream draining the Hideaway Biv saddle. Follow this southern fork upstream for 200m to where good slopes provide access to terraces on the TL (east) of the Snowy Gorge 60-80m above the river.
