"Cycled the West Coast Wilderness Trail from Kawhaka to where the ridge track starts. Clagg rolled onto the summit shortly after arrival. One deer seen on the clearing where the track starts. Last summit was 2015 via Grahams Creek." — jasonsweney • Dec 3, 2022

"Main purpose was geocaching from Richmond Hill to Marsden Valley. A cloudy showery day to start with improving as the day progressed. Had been up here many time but recording this visit only. Not a high hill but the gravy soon started to flow in the humid conditions. Arrived at the top in under an hour but not much of a view unfortunately." — andyc • Nov 19, 2022

"Main purpose was geocaching from Richmond Hill to Marsden Valley. A cloudy showery day to start with improving as the day progressed. After arriving at the top of Richmond Hill I geocached my way along the Barnicoat walkway until the forestry road neared the ridge line close to Saxton Hill. Followed a firebreak then fence line to the top. View had improved from that on Richmond Hill. Route off was a bush bash down to the next cache at the forestry intersection. " — andyc • Nov 19, 2022

"Overnight trip via camp creek hut. Moderately rugged trail to the tops but straightforward to follow. 3 stream crossings. Final 2km from pt 1795 to summit involves easy to moderate scrambling with some exposure. Had planned to descend NE ridge of Mt Alexander to pt 1427 and drop down to jacko flat hut and head out crooked river, however visibility was poor and I wasn't confident I could safely navigate down the ridge and to be honest, I just couldn't be bothered with a west coast bush bash down off pt 1427 haha.

"Walked into Gabriel hut in evening, 2 hrs. Went up an eastern spur next day to Mt Longfellow, easy bash through beech forest low down, easy spur travel for most part, some scrambling on loose rock in parts, some exposure. Summit ridge easy at first then some moderate scrambling with a bit of exposure further on, final bit to the top easy peasy. Took a spur west from just north of summit, scree and tussock, no concerns. Travelled down Evangeline stream, unofficial track marked by ribbon in places, brief gorge section. Nice walk along lake Sumner and then back out down the Hurunui. 14.5 hrs 2nd day. " — AidanAstwood • Oct 16, 2022
