We started hiking around Noon. The trail is quite steep, rocky, with a fair bit of scrambling near Arrowhead Peak.

We took a long break to rest at Picnic Rock before heading up Arrowhead. The Volcano in the background is Mt. Edgecombe the peak I wanted to climb today but we had to turn around because the water was to rough for the little boat we were in .

Taking a break with Arrowhead in the background

In-between Picnic and Arrow head there was a saddle. After that you climb the far right side of the arrow and the Scramble up the backside which you can not see in the picture above.
