i got to this first trig lookout spot and had planned on stopping here, having taken an hour to get here and a very strenuous uphill climb...then this other tramper told me that the top was only another hour in that direction...i was surprised but thought i've come this far it'd be cool to see the top...so rejuvenated after lunch i continued walking towards the top...only to discover much later that that guy obviously had no idea what he was talking about because i walked so far, very fast and later discovered it is actually an 8-10 hr return walk and most ppl camp overnight...but i'm glad i got so far because i got to do real rock climbing...as you will see 

i think one of those peaks in the background is the top 959m...i got as far as that little knob and then the fog came in and the rain started coming down so i didn't want to risk getting stuck out there by myself...turns out I was probably another 2 hours from the top anyway...oh well all the other people i passed out there had hardcore camping gear and boots etc and were going to stay overngiht at a hut along the way...i guess my little spontaneous 'walk in the park' was a little ambitious...
