A solid 15.3km (9.5 mile) alpine climb. Its steady gradient lets you get into a decent rhythm right away. Like many Australian mountains, it has a sting in the tail. The last km or so from the aptly named “Hell Corner” is brutal, particularly if you’ve overcooked it lower down the climb. Terrain - 7 to 8% gradient for around 55 mins. Nasty last 8 mins or so is steep
