"Started by the eastern hohonu River and grunted up the castle hill route in some brutal summer heat. Made it to taff tor after about 8 hours which included some hiding in the shade and some water detours. Water is available only low on the terraces, which requires some spaniard dodging. I camped up just west off taff tor, had some fun chamois encounters and some surprising kaka song which was a hohonu first for me. I bashed out the spur that exits at carew falls. Not the best spur to choose but could be worse. " — samspeight • Jan 1, 2022
"Back again for a scrub bash. Being a few hundred meters lower than the surrounding hills it seems to miss all the cloud. Saw a few chamois and had plenty of alpine fernbird encounters." — samspeight • Jan 23, 2021
"I climbed Castle Hill 1067m and ventured further up Hohonu Ridge by walking from the Kumara - Inchbonnie Road. The Eastern Hohonu River track was used for a bit under 400m then I started heading up the prominent ridge that first runs East and then SE up to Castle Hill and Hohonu Ridge.
It was a hot clear day and great views were to be had into the interior of the Hohonu Range and out over Lake Brunner." — glennj • Mar 11, 2013
