The approach reminded me of the movie 'Picnic at Hanging Rock', as walls of rock tower above you in a impressive other-worldly fashion. There had been a recent fire which made the rock very visible. A sassy mountain with real attitude! There is a tricky chimney section that some people (me!) might prefer roped, but it is OK without, if you aren't afraid of moderate exposure. | ||||

Great walk. Up ridge (steepish), don't miss the right hand turn near the top of the ridge - that track descends a few hundred metres, then don't miss the left turn up the gully to the saddle (steep), then around to the left around the rock and then up to the cairn on the summit. All good. | ||||

A shortish hike up Palm and down the ridge. Ridge views terrific. Summit crowded on a Sunday. Not for a couch potato! |
