"While heading to Jubilee Hut via the Silver Peaks track I made the small detour to the top of Pulpit Rock. IMO it is more impressive to look at and from than the nearby Green Hill or even Silver Peak." — glennj • Jun 22, 2020

"Started in Queenstown and walked the Tiki Track to the Gondola summit. Met up with the Ben Lomond track all under heavy cloud. Passed the saddle still in cloud. As I approached the summit I broke through the cloud to an amazing view of mountain peaks, sunshine and the tops of fluffy clouds. AMAZING! Took 3 hours from Queenstown. Worked vary hard towards the end of the summit! Well worh it!" — ytee • Jan 14, 2015

"My second time up. I did it three years ago with my husband who also did it today. It seemed easier this time around, and we also walked back down. The weather was perfect for hiking. " — ronnie.g.harris • Jul 19, 2014

"I was on a NOLS semester in New Zealand. We hiked up to this campsite and since everyone was so pooped we decided to take a rest day. That night a huge storm rolled in and was threatening to take down our tents. Every 15 minutes or so for at least 5 hours we had to get out of our sleeping bags and re-secure the guy lines, and brace the poles of our tents with our backs to make sure they didn't snap under the stress. Finally got to sleep around 4:30am and woke up early and cheerful to about a foot and a half of snow on the ground." — katenogz • Apr 6, 2011
