Between Alpha Hut and Omega Highpoint, the Southern Crossing track drops two the two low saddles of Hells Gate, climbing in between to pt1187. Sections of the track are steep, and there's an element of despair for some at throwing away all that altitude for nothing, but that aside it's a well cut, well marked, well travelled track.
