Turners Beach - Cradle Mountain. Most direct route from the sea level to the summit of Cradle Mountain- Tasmania's most iconic mountain.

The route is about 87 km with 2500 m of elevations gain, finish at the trig point at the top of Cradle Mountain.

From Lightning Lake in Manning Park, the route begins at the eastern corner of the lake, at the signpost saying "Frosty". This is the "Frosty Mountain Trail", take this trail to the east peak of Frosty Mountain, where there's another signpost saying "Elev 2408m". The FKT route is signpost to signpost to signpost. There is only one intersecting trail along the route, right at the ridge. Once gaining the rocky ridge you can see your target, Frosty Mountain, to the right. Do not take the left trail which heads downhill and away from Frosty towards an area called Windy Joe.
