Such an amazing hike! I would do it again in an instant. Sunrise was perfection 😍👌🏼

It was a struggle.but worth the effort. The views are brilliant.

Nice walk on a clear path through some lovely forest. The scrabble up the chain at the end has foot grooves so not too bad but a pair of gloves is handy coming down.
The 5.5 hours is a good estimate for someone of age with reasonable fitness. Younger & more fit should finish quicker.
Spectacular views from the Border Ranges to the ocean.

Nice walk, the rock scramble was much easier than we anticipated and would be achievable for most people without too much drama.

Up is easy, down is the worst!

Bring a flashlight even if you don't plan on returning in the dark. It was a lovely day, a hard trek but well worth it. Only sad part about it was the rubbish (toilet paper and beverage containers). Thank you to all the advice from fellow climbers and clear signage. Path is easy to follow even in the dark but made much safer with a light :) it took my partner and I 7 hours return as we have low to mid range fitness.

As always a good cardio workout!

I highly recommend this walk once you get to the top the views are magnificent, the track is unforgiving and not for the unfit do not attempt it if it is your first walk in the park and unfit.

Birthday Hike!! Beautiful hike through the forest, with a short scramble at the end which wasn't difficult. Took us about 4.5 hours with a break at the top. Loads of people around. Had a great lunch and cake at a nearby Cafe afterwards.

A relatively easy walk with a short scramble towards the top. My only advice is to choose the right day and time to do this walk, as its popularity at times means the trail becomes over crowded with people, like was the case yesterday, when 50+ people decided to do it at the same time in pitch black at around 4/430 am for sunrise.

What a view!! Amazing spot to watch sunrise be sure to pack the camera

Went for a sunrise hike. It was a tad chilly so make sure you take a jacket for the top. There was a bit of cloud around but it cleared up enough for us to see some of the sunrise and the view was great.

This was an incredible experience, a test of fitness on the was up and logic on the way down. Beautiful surroundings, would definitely do this again.

Awesome hike, couldn't see anything from up top, was very cloudy and slightly raining.

Did a sunrise walk up Mt Warning - so many people and young kids drinking booze and smoking dope. We moved to another platform to watch the sunrise and it was wonderful watching the light touch to surrounding area. Photos from the top were wonderful and the track wasn't too bad at all. It took my partner and 1.5 hours to reach the summit and was faster coming back down, we were held up with some other people who were a bit scared of the descent. The Track however was littered with rubbish and toilet paper which was disgusting - people need to learn to take their rubbish with them.
Hot tip ** take gloves for the chains, makes it much easier for grip and saves your hands :)

Took my partner and I 1 hour and 32 mins ascent! Easy walk until you get to the last 400 meters when the chains start— it was over before we know it! Definitely bring a jacket cause I did not (Silly me).

It was wet all the way up due to the rain overnight. amazing walk! Most people were coming down from their sunrise hike so there wasn't a lot of people when we got to the top.

Well maintained track with one or two lookouts on the way.

Very busy mountain, heaps of people coming up with climbers of all ages. The walk was actually not dissimilar from Mt Mitchell for the most part, very easy and gradual climb apart from the last 400m being a steep rock staircase. Plenty of things to hang onto (including a chain) and was quite do-able even in the wet. Which was just as well because the moment we got to the top it bucketed down, didn't see any view unfortunately. If the forecast says anything other than 'clear and sunny', you'll probably experience the same. Took about 80 minutes on the way up and slightly less on the way down.

Brilliant

Hiked up for the sunrise on ANZAC day. Very busy at the top, about 50 other hikers. The last post was played and a minutes silence at sunrise. Thank-you to the hiker that carried the speaker up. Great hike, well worth doing. Was cloudy, but had moments where they parted to see the view. Will return again on a clear day. (1.45 up, 1.30 down.)

To the summit in 1hr 48mins. Down in 1hr 36mins. Tree down across the track about 600-700 meters in but a path has been cleared through it so no big deal. Stairs are a bit of a bugger but necessary given the dampness underfoot the entire way.

Didn't have much to see unfortunately at the top as was extremely overcast. It didn't diminish the enjoyment in haveing completed this walk.

Highly recommended.
