Me, my wife and our 6 months old daughter did the climb. Very nice view!

I do this 2-3 times a week. A very well marked trail. Great incline to get the heart pumping. Slippery when wet but I can run down when dry. My best time is 2 hours return but do it comfortably in 2.5 hours.

Challenging hike in dark and wet conditions, and no view at top due to low clouds... great excuse to complete this climb in better weather!

EDIT: I've since learnt the traditional custodians of Wollumbin (Mt Warning) have called for non-Indigenous people to refrain from undertaking this hike; The National Parks and Wildlife Service asks visitors to respect the wishes of the local Indigenous mob and ‘avoid climbing this very difficult track’.

LONG walk but lovely, scrabbling at the top but there is a chain to help, semi obstructed views at the top, but stunning none the less

This was a hard one for me...because I'm unfit.

I've done this walk a couple of times – once when it had been raining and once on a fine day. It was spectacular on both occasions but I have to say there was something magical about walking up through the mist and clouds!

I wasn't the fittest when I did this walk – stairs are a killer, the short climb at the top is fun!

It's very popular so it can be difficult to get a carpark if going there for the sunrise.

I have to add how disappointing it is to see people leaving their rubbish behind, both on the side of the trail and at the summit...

Great climb. Went to see the sunrise. Quite strenuous but still very enjoyable. Be careful with your torchlight at night so to not disturb the glowworms that live all the up the mountain! Was way too cloudy at the top so will have to go again when its clearer.

Good hike to do if in the area. Stayed at the camping area below Mt. Warning to get an early start on the hike.

Hiked this today. Harder than I remember. Full review here: https://juicedpixels.com/2016/11/30/mount-warning/

Did the sunrise walk to the summit. Left at 315 am and was at the top within 1.5 hrs. Beautiful climb but be prepared for cold once you are still at the top waiting for the sun. Took about 1 hr down or so. Very stunning forest to check out in the sunlight on the way down. Looked as though it got quite busy during the day but the sunrise wasn't too busy. Make sure you head to the bathroom immediately before taking off... Also wear dark clothing or nothing special as the chain at the top stains your hands and clothes.
Would definitely recommend anyone to do this.

Great hike with a bonus scramble at the top. Animorph training came in handy. 1hr 50mins return. Ran most of the way down.

Hike was great!! Nice and quick!!! I thought I seen an animorph there!! Maybe that training did pay off.

Start of track not to bad but gets harder. Well worth it. Thought friday after school holidays wouldnt be to busy wrong. 1:02 up and 38mins down. Dont recommend running back down

Have done this walk many times for sunrise. Love it every time! Can take anywhere from 3 - 5 hours. Pictures from all of my walks and climbs are on instagram @teniille.

Hiked up the mountain on a beautifully clear day. So much appreciation for the views, definitely worth the effort. Once we were at the top underneath the viewing deck a bandicoot caught us by surprise munching on vegetation. Took us about 3 and 1/2 hours return stopping up the top for snacks and photo ops. Not anywhere near as difficult as I remembered now with an improved fitness level.

First to the carpark. Started at 3am with the wife and 2 year old daughter this time. Carried my daughter the whole way up on my back with a backpack on my front. My 5 year old smashed it, but the wife stopped at the rock amphitheatre. A lot of work has been done here to make the track an easy walk. The very top is the grade 5 which is disappointing if you cant ascend and miss the sunrise. Otherwise its a great view on the right day, we were stuck in the fog unfortunately. Round trip of 7 hrs with the 2 year old insisting on walking all the way down #slowwalking

Beautiful walk. Flowers out but slippery after the rain

Kay on 11 Sep, 2016

Very easy and very crowded, I'm glad I've ticked this one off the list so I don't have to do it again. The crowd makes it painful

First hike over 1000m for us. We had a crew of ten for this one so it was pretty entertaining. It was a perfect day so the trail was super busy. No chance of getting lost, a well maintained trail and even the scramble at the end had a chain on the edge for those less confident. Views at the top were outstanding so definitely get along and tick this one off. The only party member who found it challenging had a knee injury and even still it wasn't until the descent that it became difficult. Should suit most fitness levels. When we got back to the cars we learned that some punks had slashed people's tyres! Incredible on such a busy day.

If you've got someone really new to hiking this could be a good one to break them in. Rewarding views and should be a little bit of a burn without any navigation worries.

Great walk. 2 hours up and 1.5 down approx. The chain climb was not as difficult as expected but gloves are handy for this. The views are beautiful but the rubbish and food scraps left at the top are disgusting. A few people walking today which is a Thursday. I would try to do this walk during the week if possible to avoid the crowds at the last climb and the top.
