Kauaeranga Valley, near Thames
The Webb Creek route is 6 km one way to the hut, with a further 1 km to the Pinnacles. The final climb has ladders, steep drops and a fenced viewing platform.

- The summit section is more difficult and exposed than the hut approach. Avoid it in high wind or rain.
- Heavy rain can flood the access road and unbridged streams. Do not attempt flooded crossings.
- Book Pinnacles Hut if staying overnight.
