Best to do this walk early before the heat of the day. From the base it's a steep rock climb/scramble up that seems to go on forever. Once past this initial climb, you reach the Organ Pipes. From here it's a moderate walk/scramble to the top. Views are amazing from the summit. Take your time coming down, use your feet and hands to control your descent as it's steep. If you're willing to sacrifice your pants to the rock, a crab walk/butt scoot down is effective for grip and won't make you slide Take water and some energy food as you'll be tired and need to get some energy, especially in the warmer months. Approx 3hrs. Great if you like a challenge.

Take care with this walk/climb, but go soon. A small group of Australians calling themselves the "Jinibara" have Non-Exclusive native title to the national park and want to prevent others paying homage to this wonderful mountain by climbing it. Be proud of your achievement if you reach the summit, but only if you feel confident on the steep rock.

I’m glad to have done this but won’t rush to do it again. Found it harder than Tibro, and that means harder than any other walk I’ve done. Views at the top are much better than Tibrogargan. Came down East face - good variety.

Incredible and challenging walk/scramble. Noted to never do this climb in the hotter months as the rock can burn your hands (even in winter!). Felt a bit sketchy at times with foot holds as the rock is so smooth, especially at the beginning/end of the climb.

The hardest part is at the start, there is an alternative route about 20-30m to your left at the base of the mountain. The alternative path gets you past that tricky part . The rest the climb is steep with much scrambling required. Quite slippery from years of the rock being smoothed out from lots of climbers.
