A trip for MrT to do this trig with rogerW3 had been planned for a while, but they were waiting for cooler weather knowing it was going to be a long day. A challenging walk to get one trig and not enough time to go for the second one they had planned. A difficult climb on the southern side of the creek. The walk was on MrTs "to-do list" so now he's been there, done that!

Well that was quite a lot of hard work getting there via the Jack Evans track. Glen (thomo31) and I did make it to the top but it was not easy. Not to be recommended if your rock climbing skills are not up to par or bush bashing skills.
A dangerous climb indeed not to mention the return climb down, you could do yourself a lot of damage if you slip.
But the trig at the end of the mostly easy to follow track on the ridge makes it all worth it.
But all the same I would not recommend this walk/climb.
