★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Short hike with beautiful views of Lake Wanaka and surrounding mountains. Took the eastern track, which was steep in places but definitely doable for any fitness level. A must do hike when in Wanaka.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A challenging hike off the beaten trail. We saw about 5 other people the whole time, and if you take the eastern track up and the western track down you get an awesome diversity of views and hiking environments. My girlfriend and I kept up a pretty good clip and we made it to the summit and back in 2 hours. The views from the summit are absolutely spectacular in every direction and the hike is quite challenging on the way up. The trail can get a little sketchy at places so proper hiking footware is a must to do the whole thing. Definitely would recommend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice hike but take the west side to the summit if you are not an experienced hiker. The east side is quite slippery and the path is sometimes not really intact anymore. I would say the east side climb is a T3-T4. If you want to see both sides I'd recommend going up east and going down west.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great 3 hours hike to the top of Rocky Mountain with 360° views. Quite strenuous so be prepared.
There's a loop at the top, you can follow east or west bound track to get different views. I recommend west track to climb and east to descend. West track is going through a small stream and can get tricky descending.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice track with nice view/walking time ratio. A mini Roy's Peak for those who don't have time/motivation. Previous comments mention going up from the East track and down through the West. I cannot say that one was easier than the other when I went there in January. I'd say East more exposed, dryer and west more in the forest and more slippery. Anyways it should be fine if you can accept a couple of more difficult sections but overall the tracks are OK.
Also you can stop at one of the viewpoints on the way and decide to come back when you have enough.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful track. Very treacherous in the winter after snowfall with most rocks covered in slippery thick ice. Take your time, but would highly recommend for intermediate to advanced hikers depending on the weather.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice little hiking track to the top of Rocky Mountain that provides stunning views of Lake Wanaka, Glendhu Bay, Hospital Flat, the Matukituki and Motutapu River valleys and the surrounding mountains including Roy's Peak, Treble Cone and Black Peak. Parts of the track can be rather slippery in cold weather with icy patches on frosty mornings and muddy sections after rain.
Well worth the hike for the amazing views.
