Awesome walk with some great views and spots for photos and a picnic. The climb to the top wasn't too difficult and trails are well marked. Recommend taking a light jacket as the wind can make it a bit chilly.

Nice track with nice view/walking time ratio. A mini Roy's Peak for those who don't have time/motivation. Previous comments mention going up from the East track and down through the West. I cannot say that one was easier than the other when I went there in January. I'd say East more exposed, dryer and west more in the forest and more slippery. Anyways it should be fine if you can accept a couple of more difficult sections but overall the tracks are OK. Also you can stop at one of the viewpoints on the way and decide to come back when you have enough.

Worthwhile going here if you're in the area or as an alternative to Roys Peak if you're on a tight timetable. Absolutely gorgeous!

Very nice hike but take the west side to the summit if you are not an experienced hiker. The east side is quite slippery and the path is sometimes not really intact anymore. I would say the east side climb is a T3-T4. If you want to see both sides I'd recommend going up east and going down west.

A slightly challenging 90 minute climb to the summit of this 775m peak is richly rewarded with incredible views of Lake Wanaka. Well worth the effort, and nowhere near as busy as the Mount Roy track.

Short hike with beautiful views of Lake Wanaka and surrounding mountains. Took the eastern track, which was steep in places but definitely doable for any fitness level. A must do hike when in Wanaka.
