Awesome video mother nature rules

My husband climbed the Castle in 1971 and he still remembers every part of this magnificent walk.

Yikes I didn't realise how much higher the Castle is than Byangee, I'm not sure I'll make it to the top

It's certainly worth a try, great place to spend some time. Just start early and allow a full day if you want to go up and back in a single day.

Nice vid, thanks for sharing. The information and tips (tide bush) was helpful. I’ll be doing this hopefully in Autumn just doing a bit of research first. Just want to ask with the rock which has 3 direction arrows which way is the correct way. Subbed

Thanks for subbing Jim, glad you found it useful. I can't recall the rock with 3 arrows scratched on it. There is a trail junction at around the 4km mark not far from the 'tail' of The Castle. You can go either way here, left takes you around the tail, and right takes you through the tail. Would recommend going around the tail (left at junction) if you have a large pack. Both end up the same spot before you start the climbing. Other areas where there was more than one arrow usually just showed the up and down directions of the trail. Hope that helps.

Amazing video! How much space was there up top to set up camp?

If you dont mind setting up on rocky ground theres quite a bit of space, but if you want a flat dirt patch, we only found one area that just fit our tent, which is where our tent is in the video.

03:07 - is this doable with 15kg on back?

@InformMotivateInspire

Is definitely doable with a 15kg pack. We did it with ~15kg packs in order to camp up top over night. At about the 3-4km mark you'll reach a fork in the trail not far before you reach the tail of the castle. Recommend going left here and going around the tail if you have big packs. Going right takes you 'through' the tail and it'd be pretty tight and awkward with a large pack. The hardest part of taking large packs is probably hauling the packs up the climbing/scrambling sections towards the end. You can use the fixed ropes to do this but it's probably also worth taking a spare 10-15m rope in case some of the fixed ropes aren't in place. Packs will get a bit scuffed up as you haul them up the rocks too, which is hard to avoid. It's definitely worth the effort though, it's one of the most spectacular places we've ever camped. Just give yourself plenty of time to get up there, the gradient makes it a very tough 5km, especially when carrying a large pack.

@@InformMotivateInspire Thank you for such an exhausting answer :) I will be in the area between march/april so i really want to do this hike. Ideally with my camping gear so that I can spend the night up there as you did.
