Despite this being signposted as an advanced hike, I saw a lot of people doing it in sneakers, which really aren't appropriate! Beautiful views, but make sure you have the right gear with you to tackle it and keep safe!

Hiking

The Roberts Point Track requires a good level of fitness. After walking one hour you will reach Hende's Hut. From there the track continues to climb on to Roberts Point where the glacier views are spectacular.

The whole walk is wonderful. The view is just an additional reward for the efforts to get up.
