This is my first proper climb in the Gold Coast area, definitely one to remember. We took the first turn off and went as far as the base of the ridge before turning back; I'd like to explore that area one day, does anyone know if it leads to anything worthwhile? Anyway, we continued on the fire trail, but missed the PP tree shortcut. We continued another 200m or so and took the footpad instead. The views on the ridge and the first peak are pretty breath-taking; scrambling along the ridge is definitely not for the faint-hearted, but is really not as difficult as it looks. We down-climbed directly from the first peak to the saddle (north-face of the first peak), but we're both pretty confident in our climbing, so I'd suggest you follow the GPX Kingi uploaded if you aren't as crazy as we are. The vegetation on the second peak is currently more overgrown than at the first peak, so the views weren't as good. |
