Went up a couple of days ago, choosing this shorter climb after dire warnings that Mt Barney required up to 10h. Found the route quite easy to follow with a bit of care and sense but the gully is VERY steep and moderately exposed; the warnings at the bottom are somewhat justified. On the other hand it's pretty short, we were somewhat disappointed that the whole thing took us less than 3h and only 1h 15 mins to the top. If you're a regular runner ignore the timing even if you're over 50. |
