"SAR training with Jimmy, Matt, Luke, and Hodgy. Walked to shelf camp, dropped packs and then walked to the notch. Camped at shelf camp, I used a microlight, others bivvied. Day 2 - did class 4 terrain training using ropes on the first bit of the climb to the summit. Hauled packs up. Clear day, great views. Went over the back of the summit and abseiled down into Anne-A-Kenanda cave. Slept in the cave overnight then climbed back out on a rope. Took the Bombadier track out. Pack was around 23kg starting weight." — Olliemc • Feb 9, 2026

"With Kristy, headed up to Trestle after doing Mount Marian. Saw two snakes on the tracks. Rained a bit on the way back down and collected a few leeches. Big day, but a good day out!" — Olliemc • Jan 8, 2026

"Straight forward three-day trip with friends from Lake Dobson along the 'blazed/staked' route. Given the good weather we camped right at Lake Emmett (there is no water right at the obvious camp site on the trail above the lake). Had thought of heading back somewhere on the second (climbing) day but the peak presented enough challenges for that day. Used FinniganPeakbagger's GPX trail at times and for starting the climb. Like that person, on the descent we started following the cairned route off the top. Unlike FinniganPeakbagger, we didn't return to where we started the climb but used the cairns right back into the bush a bit further south of the upward path (sadly, no obvious trail in the forest from there though). On the last day, got back in time to join the queue for raspberries and ice-cream at Westerway. " — mcrosswell • Jan 3, 2026

"My cousin and I spotted this one on our journey along the coast and had to give it a crack. We decided half way up that it was going too smoothly and headed off track towards the rocky cliffs and scoured our way up slowly. Definitely a lot riskier but a hell of a lot more fun" — MatBrock • Nov 20, 2025
