Straightforward going along the ridge once you turn north towards Te More, but no more cairns. Around the low point on the ridge before Te More, heavy scrub and low beech have been able to grow right over the ridge, which makes getting through to Te More (and on to the spurs dropping west into the Rangitikei) a challenge.
