From the car park, climb due west up the spur & part way up, sidle in a north-northwest direction around the un-named high point to a small saddle south of pt. 1354. The last 20-30m of this sidle is in fine scree. From the saddle, climb north along the mostly tussock-covered ridge to pt. 1354, where pieces of old number 8 wire lay rusting.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From pt. 1354 descend south along the ridge to a small saddle, immediately before the next climbed to an un-named minor peak. From the saddle, drop down fine scree for 20-30m & begin sidling around the un-named peak, until hitting the spur that sits directly above the car park. Descend the easy slopes to the car park.
