6.5km return
3.5 hrs
A rocky and challenging walk with great views. Reading previous walkers comments their opinions vary. I'm 60 and it took 5hrs return with regular rests and a long break at the top. A fitter person could do it in 3.5 to 4hrs. The climb is steady with some steep pinches requiring both hands. It also has long sections with uneven and broken rock so good boots a must. We started at 12pm which made it a bit hot for the ascent (October) as there isn't a lot of shade Great views once you reach the narrow ridge. However, be careful as there is a sheer face on the eastern side. We had no trouble navigating the track, which mainly keeps to the ridge, however, walking in low light might be difficult. Fantastic facilities in the car park. Felt like a cold beer when I'd finished!
