From the signposted track junction 400m north of the Mangahuia highpoint, a poled track heads south to the Mangahuia Highpoint at 1583m. Here it swings west along the tops before continuing west down a broad spur towards the Renfrew Roadend. The route is poled above the scrubline, and cut through scrub and later mature bush below that. The gradient is gentle on the tops but steepens once in the bush and is very steep for the last 200 vertical meters to the road.

An easier (gentler) alternative to Renfre Rd is via Rangi Hut.
