Excellent level 5 hike, very very steep and not really for people that are scared of heights (like the misses is lol)But if u can push past that and get to the top it's worth it all for the view.

Little bit of a challenging climb but literally people with small children did the climb so if you're able anyone can do it. Absolutely worth the climb honestly you're spoiled with incredible views of the nature park and Esperance in the distance. Water bottle, closed shoes and sunscreen is recommended if you want do the 242m climb. Do the climb first thing when you enter and go cool off at Lucky Bay or any of the swimming beaches in the park.

Awesome views all the way up. Steep climb. Make sure your wearing decent shoes, can be slippery when wet.

One of the best places I've hiked/explored.Highly recommend doing it in the morning when the wind isn't that strong. Be careful during windy times/days.The Rocks can be slippery when wet (avoid the blacker looking parts, they are the slippery parts).

I wouldn't call this a level 5 hike myself, it was actually quite easy for me. My partner on the other hand struggled, a lot.If you have small legs and wonky ankles this will be super tough, (about 40-50 minutes up)If you have long longs with only wonky knees, you'll breeze up (in about 30 minutes)Great views, super cool caves (multiple caves might I add) some sneaky ones.Superb wildflowers too.

Excellent hiking spot. It's a steep climb up to the top and committing to it can be nerve-inducing, but actually the journey back down the hill is much easier as the elevated vantage point gives you a much better understanding of the paths to take. I would not recommend it if the surface is wet.The views at the top are absolutely stunning in all directions. Underneath the stunning views is a pretty large cave. Enter the caves at the far sides for ease of access.There are about a dozen parking spaces, no facilities, no shade on the way up. Approximately 3.5km there and back. Comfortable 2hrs hike with plenty of time to look around at the top.

A steep hike to the top so not suitable for someone who’s elderly, however saw a few families walking up with kids. It doesn’t take 3 hours to walk to the top and back like the sign says (more like 1 hour with a good level of fitness)Gets quite windy at the top but you’re treated with beautiful views.

Spectacular views from the peak. So worth the walk. It is very steep but slow and steady gets you there easily enough. It says 3 hrs rtn but I reached the peak in 30 minutes without going at breakneck speed.Definitely worth doing.

What a fantastic little hike! The views from the top are breathtaking. Be extra careful if it rains, hiking boots recommended.

A lovely climb for families and friends! Lovely views of the Esperance Archipelago. No set path, just some markers to keep you on track. Would bring a jacket for the wind at the summit! Discounts at National Park entrance for people with Pension Cards and Companion Cards.
