A rocky, often slippery climb in the Canterbury high country, leading up to Fanghill Hut. The track is well worth the effort: from the top you're rewarded with stunning views out over the valley below. Expect a rough, rocky surface that becomes notably more challenging in the wet, so pick your line carefully on the ascent. Rated a medium-grade run, it makes for a satisfying outing with mates. Note that Fanghill Hut itself is private property, so please admire it from the outside and stay clear. Take care on the descent, where the loose rocky terrain can be just as testing as the climb up.
