We walked on Robert Ridge Route and on Speargrass Walk on the way back.
Beautiful landscapes. Well signed. Can be hard, need good fitness. Take about 2 x 5 hours. Comfortable hut with amazing surroundings!

Great track with a lot of variations, the possibility to connect with different tracks/hikes with each other is great here - many possibilities.
Beautiful view from the ridge to every side.
