Panoramic views of Girraween including The Pyramids and Mt Norman.
Distance:
5.2km
Duration:
2 hours
Difficulty:
Medium
Getting there
The track starts from the picnic ground on Pyramid Rd. Follow the directions on the Girraween National Park page.
Route/Trail notes
The track is well marked and passes through a variety of vegetation types. The final section is along exposed granite to the summit. From the summit you get a great view around Girraween's many peaks.
As with all of Girraween's granite it can become very slippery when wet and should not be attempted in damp conditions. The walk is also quite exposed so be prepared if you're wary of heights.

was hot, but beautiful. took my time with plenty of drink breaks. had plenty of wildlife at the camping area. was very pleasant to have Sunday morning breakfast with a mob of kangaroos grazing in front of me and the birds chirping in the trees.

We did this climb while camping nearby at Easter 2005. It was a good walk up the hill before the climb up to Castle Rock, which required steady feet. We also did The Sphinx and Turtle Rock as a circuit on the same day.
