Biking from Muddy Creek Carpark to the bottom of Kea Basin on the farmland track.

Straight forward approach from Kea Basin via soft snow on the Birley Glacier and Wright Col, no snow left on the North Face all the way up to the East Peak.

Plenty of streams to fill up on water once on the rock slabs around 1900m.
