| Loved the walk, and amazing views from the top. Ive seen some reviews on here that said the scrambling was very difficult. If you go up the left peak and miss the right turn to the gully the scramble is grade 7-8 easily, and quite difficult, but if you trek back down, you will see a path on the left that leads down into the gully. Follow that and then enjoy the reasonable climb to the summit. Overall great hike and would recommend it. Leave some extra time at the summit to explore the top of the mountain too just down from the peak. |

| Quick Video of what to expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkVb9zFW4RQ Great and steep hike. There is a 20m vertical section that you should be prepared for when you hit the rock face early on. It would have been nice to know before i started. Well fitted shoes were a must. Overall the hike isn't bad there are just 2 quite vertical parts that you should be prepared for and on the way down i honestly wished i was wearing climbing shoes. (I was wearing a heavy pack though) Don't be too scared of this route, i passed a 70 year old woman climbing down. She was in incredible shape of course, but just goes to show if you're prepared you can do this hike too. Views from the top very worth it. Water and snacks nice, but not necessary if you want to go packless, as it was a shorter climb. |
