From Mid Wairoa Hut a sidle track leads up the Wairoa valley to the forks below Top Wairoa Hut. The track crosses several steep faces and has 8 river crossings of the Wairoa - but is relatively good for a sidle track (not too many ‘unnecessary’ climbs and descents of the valleyside). From the forks, the track is not well marked, but climbs the scree-face on the north face of the southern branch, 200m above the confluence. From the top, you’ll pick up markers again and the cut track to the hut.
