This track climbs steadily through alpine heath and past small glacial tarns, leading onto exposed dolerite ridges. Though not long, the ascent is steep and demanding, with sections that require care in poor weather. The track climbs steadily over rocky ground and includes sections of boardwalk before reaching the 1,255-metre summit. From the top, expansive views extend across the Southwest Wilderness and, in clear weather, toward the Southern Ocean, making the climb both challenging and memorable.
