This trackhead sits just off the Anthony Road (B28) west of the mountain, where a small informal pull-off and clearing mark the start. From the roadside, walkers immediately enter moss‑covered temperate rainforest, where slick roots and steep gradients set the tone for the climb through low vegetation before heading onto the steep western slopes. It’s the gateway to one of Tasmania’s most challenging day hikes, requiring thorough preparation and a solid level of fitness.
