Spicer's peak (Main Range National Park) |

| This one will give you the fear. Trail starts off from Governors Chair lookout, there is an overgrown path that follows the ridge around for some ok views across to Mt Barney Nat. Park, or there is a clear and easy fire trail that leads off from the carpark. They meet up later so choice is yours. From the end of the firetrail, the oath is single file and STEEP for a walking track, but not long. You'll find the first scramble about 1.5km uphill of the end of the fire trail. This scramble is short, steep and right against the cliff edge. Extreme caution required. Some have taken a path to the right (southwest) of this and gone around this ridge - I didn't go this way but heard it adds a half an hour and is just as sketchy. The first scramble has intermittent footpad and scrambling, but all scrambling is covered in loose dirt and foilage so do have good shoes for this. This will open to a rocky lookout with the main peak around 70 metres higher to the east, best views north, west and east are here. Options for summitting are straight up the same ridge near the cliff edge (not as bad as the first part) or around to the south slightly and then up onto the summit. Not a technically difficult section but the exposure is a bit scary. |

| 4.5 hours total time with a half hour meditation break and plenty of time spent playing with the drone on the rocky slab between the gorges. Ascended up waterfall gorge which was a great rock hopping challenge, lots of lose foliage and debris when I passed through so it wasn't quite so serene at the time. Reaching the top of the gorge headed across to the lower northern vantage point over moogera which was fantastic, views here better than the summit in my experience. Found the top of the waterfall gorge trail difficult to follow so followed the top of the gorge back until it met with the south ridge trail along the main bare slab between the gorges. Easy summit from here. Summit I found lacking in views - perhaps overgrown or I missed the right lookout. Very large cairn on top identifies the summit. Descended via south east ridge - amazing views across the top of waterfall gorge here, there is an obvious outcrop to your left as the trail eases on the way down DO NOT MISS IT. Views back to the mountain along the gorge are spectacular. Probably wouldn't say it's a class 4 to be honest, it is very challenging, it doesn't have a lot of technical scrambling but the trails are quite faint and it requires some good navigation and thinking to find your way from the top of waterfall gorge. |
