Downloaded the GPS for this one, but still managed to get off track. Was able to work through fern gully and bogs, and eventually crossed back to the trail about a mile into the hike. There is a bit of scrambling to get to the top. On way down, took a more technical route, as we were short on time. Fog and a bit of rain at the start, but started to clear a bit once we hit the top.
