Mount Alexander

The route starts approximately 19 km south of Moana (towards Chch) on the Inchbonnie-Rotomanu Road, just north of Lake Poerua.

From the road-end the route passes through thick rain forest until it reaches Camp Creek. It then continues up the creek bed until climbing steeply up a side creek and then a ridge until levelling out and sidling around the hill, high above the creek. The route crosses the creek shortly before reaching Camp Creek Hut (up a short side-track) and then climbs very steeply onto the tops and a long ridge leading to the summit of Mt Alexander. Spectacular 360 degree views reward the tramper after a long and steep climb.
