You can drive, catch a bus or walk. The drive for the passenger's is stunning. The driver needs to concentrate as a couple of hairpin bends but from the bottom about a 20min drive. You can stop half way, park and walk to some amazing rock formations and views. Have been up in winter, very cold, need a down jacket, gloves, beanie etc. Even in summer usually cool and a breeze. Look from Hobart and if clear go for it. If cloudly wait until it clears.
