Description

 

There are two possible options depending on weather and interest:

  1. Fit day trip to Mt Patriarch III direct out of the Wangapeka. From Rolling River car park take the main Wangapeka Track until just past where Patriarch Creek comes in. Cross the Wangapeka river and proceed up through the forest on a spur above and West of P. Creek. When at the bushline, move across and up a basin to under Mt Patriarch. A last steep scramble brings us to the summit of P III. Splendid views to Patriarch II and I, and across the Wangapeka to the Mt Owen massif. Back down the way we came.
  2. Medium two day trip to Kiwi Saddle Hut and Patriarch I. As for 1 but continue on the Wangapeka Track to the swing bridge just before Kings Hut. Up Kiwi Stream on a good track to Kiwi Saddle Hut (6 bunks). In the morning, climb Mt Patriarch (1700m) from the ridge route. Return to the hut for packs and on down the track back to Rolling River.

Contact Malcom well before the weekend to discuss these options
