"10.6 km round trip walk up to the trig and back. Took the track from Manuweka Road by Otawa Lodge. 3 hours 40 min. Not worth the walk.. no reward at the top. Overgrown and no view at all. " — jessicadavidson • Jan 4, 2025

"Climbed the Mount in the morning for sunrise probably took 25 mins to walk up it. Heaps of spectators up there enjoying the view, a nice vibe to start the morning. Sunrise was 5.49am and there was plenty of light to see my way up there prior to sunrise." — loganscott • Dec 4, 2024

"Ascended up the east track, which has now been cleared of fallen trees knocked down recently. Good views from the top, skies mostly clear. Descended down the north track, which still has one fallen tree across the path, but you can squeeze under or go around. Lots of birds around. Piwakawaka and toutouwai" — Lipi • Feb 17, 2022
