South of Tunupo the Ngamoko Range is steep and narrow. The descent of the peak is steep and can be tricky in snow / after rain. The route is unmarked by clear and well traveled through tussock and gravel. On the third minor peak, a signpost points east down a faint spur towards Toka Biv.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

Heading north from the Toka Biv turnoff the routre continues on tussock and gravel tops. Crossing 2 minor peaks, the ridgeline is narrow and can be dodgy in slippery conditions. A steep 120m climb takes you up to the summit of the third peak, Tunupo, from where a poled route / track drops NW to Alice Nash Heritage Memorial Lodge.
