| Did this yesterday with a pretty fit crew of 2, took 2 hours up and like 1.5 hours back down without any map/real idea where we were going beyond small internet clues. Pretty deluxe 360 deg views at the top. From the carpark, you follow the trail past 2 environmental protection signs and walk alongside a fenceline up the ridge for about 45mins following the most obvious (nonleafy) trail, there will be some small orange markers indicating the correct direction to turn right into a slight descent but the trail is reasonably obvious to this point. after the decline there is a fork beside the east face where you can see to the right the letter P graffiti'd on a big rock, don't follow this way, instead go left up a pretty steep incline that will enter between two 'heads' of the mountain to a clearing from which you can see the summit directly south (previously not visible during the climb). you can choose pretty much any way from here to scramble to the top, but from the first clearing (big expanse of rock) veer slightly right to eventually get to the top what a day ! |
