From the broad tops at pt1355, drop Se then south, picking up the broad tussock face / spur which descends towards Dorset Ridge Hut. Cairns mark the way at first, but soon stop.

Follow the tongue of tussock down as the spur becomes more obvious. Dorset Ridge Hut is just before the bushedge, on the spur.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From Dorset Ridge Hut, simply follow the ridge up until you reach the tops, via the broad, tussock face.
