Itinerary description

The first part to the hut is very easy and follows a very well marked 4WD track threw sheep farms. It takes about 2 hours to go up if you are a bit fit.

The second part after the hut is not too hard until you arrive to the shute. When you arrive to the last marker post take a big turn left to go threw the shute. Try to stay on the sides as much as possible cause the rocks are steadyer there. It is hard to find the right way but if you follow my steps you'll make it quite easily. If you are 2 or more stay very close to each other because you don't want loosen rocks to get speed before they hit you. It takes 1.30h for very feet ppl from the hut to the summit.

Enjoy!
