Picton Road is 16km unsealed (I got a flat tyre in a Toyota Corolla doing 30km/hr) . You park just before the landslide then its around a 3km walk to Farmhouse Creek.
From where you park the car to Cutting Camp is approximately 21km/8-10hrs with around 600m elevation gain. Plenty of mud and root climbing. you will climb under and over fallen trees.
I set up camp at Cutting Camp for 2 nights. There is plenty of water from Cherry Creek alongside the camp but you must treat it as there have been giardia cases.

Day two: climb 600m and about 3-4km 3-4hrs up to Bechervaise Plateau then another approximately 3hrs return to the summit.
If the weather is bad you will not be able to summit. You will need to be comfortable on things similar to Tibrogargan Caves Route.

After the relatively easy famous traverse above Lake Geeves there is a difficult bit to climb where getting up is much easier then getting down and there is zero margin for mistakes.

(I will refine and add to this later)
