Cradle Mountain Summit (1545 m) – 2 km, 2-3 hours return from the track junction.
​There is some boulder scrambling as you reach the summit, and the walk should only be attempted in fine weather. Not recommended when under snow or for walkers unsettled by heights and exposure. Secure your pack from marauding currawongs if leaving it at the junction. (They know how to undo zips)​​
