Itinerary description
I've only done this track coming from other side and loved it so much...but this time thought i'd start from another road.
Not one for less fitter ppl, best to use the tourist track from, Warrie Circuit entry.

The Giant lily's have really taken of the track....push through them, grab hold of them, go over them, go under them...but don't go around them...unless you are prepared for a slide down the side.

Nearly there
Oh boy, lost the trail and couldn't where to scramble up so had the scale the base and scramble up the side ridge till i met up with the track on the top. Was not prepared for that exertion...

This is where i should have come out at, then you just do a sharp left and scramble up the rocks

Looking out towards Boyds Butte and Mt Gannon's Rocky knoll. Well...i'm sure once i get home to a ice cold beer i'll look back and say.... i had so much fun 🥴 It's been 5 mnths without hiking...the past mnth i've slowly got back into shorter trails...this i have to say i have out done myself...fitness needs to catchup now.

Almost placed my hand there to scramble down..oh that would have been disastrous...bee allergy.

This is the correct way...not sure how i ended up where i did first coming up here.

Right way of track
Ignore the direction coming up...once hit the rocky knoll here go up and to the right over...won't take long following around edge to get to the summit. But if you up for the adventure and like to see some overhang caves...then by all means follow my trail as is. Battery low now..so tuning out...atleast the best part of this hike besides the views...it's all down hill baby!!! 🤙
