    Some rocky and slippery parts. Maybe a few places where you can feel some vertigo, but you'll make through

    We started hiking at 3:40 am to get to the top at dawn. The start is already challenging, and there are almost no flat zones in the whole track at all. Really hard to get to the viewpoint, we were able to get there just...

    Before describing the track itself it is worth describing how to get to the start of the track since it is a bit unusual. The Treble Cone ski area is closed down outside of the ski season. To get all the way up to the r...

    Great hike with awesome views along the way. Will be tough for inexperienced Hikers. Very crowded with lots of people. Carry plenty of water as you will be exposed to the hot Sun on a clear day. Alow 6+hrs, we completed ...

    Fine track. Parking is not so big, but even in the (late) morning people came back from the top.

    Better views than Mt Iron but also tougher. If you want a moderate option, go up and down the east way. The difficult part is the path on the west. from http://www.nzfrenzy.com , best NZ guidebook

    Nice hike to the top of Rocky Mountain. At the top there is a 360° view of the valley. The last parts (east and west) were very muddy and wet but it was worth it!

    The climb is very much as described on the NZDOC site. It’s a steady climb and quite challenging by anyone’s standards! We are slow walkers and past our best(!) so it took us 4 hours to do the ascent and 2.75 to descend....
