Completed the walk yesterday with beautiful weather. Suggest experienced bush walkers only, long sleeve upper and lower body attire is a must, rock scrambling required in the upper section of the ascent and a good fitness level. The trick to an easy ascent is you must keep the edge of the cliff face/drop off between 2m-25m on your left the whole way up. Recent rain has caused a washout/minor landslide on the way up but easily navigated. Lots of loose ground and rocks near the top. An amazing view from the hillside just before the summit. Going further west will lead to hard bush bashing and dead end climbing. |
