Start by ascending a tussock then then rocky ridge line to the top of the ski fields. Some good tracks at the top of the ski field. Summit Mount St. Patrick. Then descend the ridge heading east. We choose to sidle the north face of the ridge with the 1430 point due to wind, however this may be an alternative option. Continue on a mix of scree and tussock after this back to St. James homestead.
This trail includes the peak Mount St. Patrick.
Goes around top of Hamner Ski field.
Parking at St James Homestead.
