Route/Trail notes

From the southern side of the information shed you should see a break trail heading in an easterly direction accending towards Glen Rock, follow this trail until it finishes and becomes a more faint walking trail at the top of this ridge. From here traverse this trail carefully towards Glen Rock which will take you to the northern approach where you can scramble to the top of Glen Rock.

I am 63 years old and quite unfit since I don't do any exercise and I did the climb with my 30 year old son who goes to Gym twice a week and also does some sort of indoor wall climbing thing, so perfect match :)
We did it in 3.5hours with a nice 10-15min break on the summit AND getting lost on the way down. So I think the 3 hour advertised time is definitely doable and if your some sort of iron man probably 2 hours return. First 1/2 is quite easy and enjoyable because you are walking up along a ridge and have perfect unobstructed views almost all the way up. As you go up it get steeper and steeper but doable. The top is great because you got 360 deg views and the viewing with mountains all around is great. On the way down we both fell on our asses because of the steep loose ground. Goes without saying that you not gonna do this one in thongs and I have had glove on as well which paid tribute on the way down big time. Great hike.

The track is obviously not sign posted, however is easily picked up from near the information slab hut. Didn't quite make it to the top with my two kids, however the views were quite impressive where we stopped which was on the Eastern most bit of the spur before crossing the top of the re-entrant. Camped the preceding night at Casuarina camp ground too which was nice.

This is not to hard to follow once you find the trail but it is VERY steep near the summit. You walk up a slippery loose rock/dirt ridge that just drops away either side. The views from the top are spectacular.

Great views from the top. A fair bit of Bush bashing and no phone coverage in most parts. On the top I had some. I followed a barbed wire fence most of the way up. To be honest if was the first time here and I had no solid maps to help. Signage was vague but I'm experienced enough to make my way there. It was tough finding my way back down the same path....I should have marked that location😉. Not overly difficult but I'd definitely put in the hardish category.
