Suuuuuper challenging. This walk will take you the whole day to complete (dawn to dusk) and your feet will ache like never before. I spent the whole day after in bed. That’s if you’ve never climbed it before and you don’t climb mountains all too often.

Did this over 2 days, and camped at rum jungle. Was a gruelling hike up and down carrying the backpacks with our tents and food took about 3 and a half hours up. We summited the east peak in the morning for the sunrise which was quite difficult in the dark to find any path, just had to keep walking in the general direction and choose the easiest path we could find. The scrambling towards the top was more extreme than expected but it wasn't anything too scary. We got to the top earlier than expected and were freezing cold in the crazy winds waiting for the sun to come up. Once it finally did the view was breathtaking. Would definitely recommend this hike to those with some experience. Plan on doing the South Ridge next time!

Climbed SE Ridge many times over the past five years, also soloed. This is by far my favourite track in SE Qld.

This was a tough climb, we had summitted mount Beerwah & Tibro in the same day a few months earlier so wanted a more challenging climb. In this one we found it! we left late in the morning, i wouldn't recommend starting later than 8am (we started at 9am) otherwise decent will be likely in the dark. The entire mountain was surrounded in white out. We passed only 3 other humans who were on their way back down as we headed upwards, 2 were park rangers who recommended we didn't travel up to the summit. It was wet, raining in parts with low visibility but we pushed through, the climb was long, and challenging as we went off track several times accidentally. We hit multiple false summits, then the final summit was reached with no sight to see. The sun parted for a few seconds as my partner and i said 'i love you' to each other for the first time. Worth it for that singular moment alone.

The trek back down was difficult as we moved fast paced. We went way off course as visibility meant we had only a few meters in front and required navigational equipment to bring us back towards the track. We had come down the wrong side of the cliffs and with the waning light it was definitely a push of luck. We lost light at marker 4 and went off track again. We had to pull out headlights, retrace and travel back up the mountain to find the marker paths again. Due to it being cold in the middle of winter the sweat beads were turning into icicles on our clothes. It was overall a super tough climb but we will be back to do it again with the light of day and clear visibility. Starting much earlier.

Key points: Start as early as you can maybe even before daybreak
Take navigation equipment and headlamps
Have plenty of water and food on hand.

First time to climb Mt. Barney. Pretty hard, lots of rock scrambling.
I would recommend first timers to have a guide as the track is not easy to find and it is easy to get lost. Freezing at the top, very windy day. But it was the beginning of winter.
