"It was a Cold Gorgeous Trek taking 6.5 hour's, probably could've done it a little quicker but was enjoying the scenery and taking picture's.. Amazing walk that everyone should try atleast once..
I will definitely be going back to do it again in the Summer to see the Bloom's and even Winter to see the Snow.." — Geemurdoch • May 9, 2021
"We left this as our final State8 summit, given it is the highest in Australia. It is also one of the easier climbs. We did cheat a bit, by catching the chair lift half way up, but on the way down, the chair lift had closed, so we had to walk the whole way, which was great to do. (We had just done Bimberi Peak in ACT the day before, so decided to sleep in before commencing this walk). There was still snow at the summit, despite it being November. Many people were climbing the mountain throughout the day, even on our way down, by which time it was getting quite late in the day. Thankfully the sun doesn't set until late also.

"Followed the Merritts Nature Trail from the town of Placebo up (no, we didn’t take the chair lift like everyone else) to the top of the chair lift, and then along the groomed trail to the summit. Coming from Canada, this didn’t feel like a mountain to us, more like a big hill." — michaelwinnemuller • Feb 6, 2019
"Went the long way around and made a day of the hike. Forgot to apply sunscreen to my upper arms and got burnt. But still a fun hike of Australia's tallest non-territorial mountain." — Hiyouboots • Jan 3, 2019
