Unbelievably tough climb for us in the heat, though we are irish and maybe not as well acclimatised as some of the hikers here. A good level of fitness is a must, it would not be a nice walk if your level of fitness is not very good. Also a popular spot for paragliding. Keep an eye out for the quail about a quarter way up!

Hard hike but worth to do. Among the best landscapes I have ever seen in Asia and Europe. Breathtaking. Scenery, sunlight will change, as you climb, and will bring you necessary energy for this 1300 m height hike.Everyone has advised to stay at Wānaka and climb this peak if you had to make a choice between Milford and Wānaka.We started early morning around 9.00 am. There were fogs or clouds in the morning. They disappeared with the sun rise. We had a cloud free hike on the way back with nice sun light in the afternoon. Need to bring water.

Steep and relentless. Need to start early as summer sun can be hot, travel with plenty of water as no one will return with any. The view though is to die for.

Tough hike it will take some dedication if you are an unseasoned hiker like myself. But if you power through the first hour you will be fine. The most rewarding hiking track I have been on the view at the top of unreal.

I agree with most comments the trail is quite boring but the view is more than worth it. I went with sunset and had an amazing time. Don't forget your torches tho! It's a long way back. We spend 6 hours in total on the mountain but at least 1 hour was enjoying the sunset.

Started our walk at 4. Starting early during the dark helped mentally with getting up the mountain. It took us (beginner hikers) about 5-6 hours return walking at an average pace with many breaks. The feeling you get at the top is amazing and the sunrise is amazing even if you’re still walking up. The challenge is worth it and would do it all over again. Recommend walking sticks especially on the way down to give more support. Note: toilet is only at the viewing spot not anywhere else along the track.

We have barely average fitness and spend 6.5 hours in total to complete the whole walk. As the weathers are cooler now(2c-14c), it is nice and comfortable walking up to the viewpoint/toilet, and we only drink around 500ml of water per person through the way. However the trail get steeper and more rocky from the viewpoint to the peak, and it become very muddy and slippery close to the peak from all the melting ice. We spent 1.5 hours walking from viewpoint to the peak and return. People come with sneaker may need to reconsider if planning to get to the peak. Remember to bring $2 with you for the trail fee.

Hard to get to the top but you won’t regret it. The views are incredible.

Unfortunately, we went hiking on a cloudy day and missed a lot of the view. It was still a great time. The hike is challenging, and I would allow the full 6 hours return to complete the hike for reasonable fitness and 4.5 hours if you're very fit. Definitely wear sunscreen and pack food as it's a full day out.

Steep hike. Took us 5 hours. We met sheeps and cows on the road. Strong cold wind at the top.
