Itinerary description

Went up the hill one way …and came down a bug shortcut .

Don’t come down the way I did.

Made it up to the top at slow speed in 35 minutes from parking.
Spent an hour up top just enjoying.

Tried to explore the steep descent back to Wappa Falls Road along the the Northern Ridge…don’t do that.lol.

Half of the journey is along the 4x4/fire trail/powerline track before you have to go off track and bush bash your way to the summit .
