I'll start with saying this was a reeeeeally fun walk - not difficult by any stretch but plenty of steeper terrain to hit at a trot if you're after a bit of a cardio. The scree sections were great for a bit of rock-hopping. The scramble/climb just before the summit is about 10(ish) metres and pretty easy to manouvre. Sadly there was a bit of fog hanging around so the views weren't reaching but still pretty spectacular and definitely made up for by the willingness of the birds and roos to hang about in the open. The descent was pretty cruisey. The trail took me just on 2 and a half hours including a snacks and few sets of push-ups at the summit.

Love this mountain. Such a great walk so close to Brisbane. Highly recommend this one. Didn't quite make it for sunrise this time, but was well worth carrying the coffee and snack up on this cold morning. Enjoy your adventures.

We loved this hike! Did it faster than recommended. Some rock scrambling but it wasn't too tricky. So much fun and amazing views. My favourite to date!

Great challenging hike with varied terrain. I would have been moderate fitness level when I did this the first time and found it tough but a good challenge. Right when you get sick/bored/tired of one section it changes to a completely different type of terrain. Eg. Quite a lot of consistent incline then bam it’s rock hopping then bam it’s some downhill then bam beautiful look out then bam some incline then bam rock hopping then bam scramble then bam incline and you’ve made it haha! One of my favorite hikes in the Brisbane/greater Brisbane area.

Did it in about he suggested time frame or slightly less from memory :)

This is a fairly straight forward hike... One foot in front of the other for what seems like FOREVER! Some scrambling involved but you don’t need a lot of experience but some sort of fitness level is definitely beneficial! Awesome views from the summit and the help pad. Beautiful while the sun is starting to go down, just don’t wait too long, it is steep going down.

Good little hike. Some challenging sections, but nothing really that difficult. Just under three hours up and back with some decent breaks on the way and at the top.

My second time doing this climb and what a personal improvement! 1hr 30 mins to the top 1hr 10mins to the bottom.
Some of the track at the top was a little more washed away than last time but still safe. It seems a lot of the loose rocks have been compacted or removed which definitely allowed for more traction coming down the bottom half.
A great morning out will definitely do it again!!

Awesome walk!! Watch the rubble coming down tho, very dusty and slippery. Best done in winter time, as quite exposed to the sun

The edge of Amberley Airspace, most GA pilots will know this mountain well because if you fly on the wrong side of it without a clearance you'll have a rather annoyed air traffic controller to deal with. Finally climbed it and was a good morning out. Took roughly 90 minutes to climb with the first part being more exhausting than the second half. Some very minor scrambling towards the end of the hike but next to no exposure. Would not consider this a difficult climb. View at the top is awesome but somewhat blocked by the Emergency Services radio facility at the summit. Track was easy to follow, no need for GPS or maps. Funnily enough they had some free maps on the tourist board at the bottom though.

A favourite. 3 hours with breaks as required

This was a tough walk! Very steep the entire way up, so really tested the legs for both myself and my husband. It says 7km, however this must be as the crow flies because our tracker logged 10km (which we weren't expecting).

If you are wanting to go, I recommend to be prepared with more water than you think you need, plenty of snacks and a first aid kit just in case.

We were surprised with just how difficult it was, however our fitness level isn't the greatest.

An enjoyable, if challenging hike!

Took us around 4 hours including an asthma attack and a bunch of breaks ;D

Fantastic walk with a great variety of terrain, both bush walking and rock hopping / scrambling. Track is well laid out with orange markers and the bbq facilities at the bottom are perfect for a post hike breakfast.

Awesome walk. Provided a great challenge for our group. Took 4 hours 20mins return with quite a few stops along the way and at the top.

Great view throughout the hike, few rock scrambling made it more fun. Beautiful 360 view from the peak. 2 hr up and 1.5 hr down. Suitable for BBQ after hike.

Good solid climb to the top with the first quarter of the ascent being the most taxing on the legs. Great views start from approximately 1/2 way up. Rock climb about 1/3 of the way from the summit with good foot/hand holds so shouldn't have too many difficulties. Fantastic views in all directions once at the top!

A challenge for me as it was my first big climb in many many years. Very enjoyable . Was slippery underfoot so highly recommend good quality footwear. Definitely doing this again!

Juanita on 4 Mar, 2018

Great hike. Well defined track. Was tough in parts and slippery when it rained. Recommend going early to avoid the hot sun.

Grabbed a beautiful day, nice views

drewmac on 27 Oct, 2017

Great fun going up and excellent views on the way.
We stuffed around a lot and took lots of breaks (around 2 hours all up maybe), 5.5 hours from start to finish.

Hi, Found a lovely presented, entrance, with toilets, bbque facilities, in very good state. The walk after the first klm, went straight up-hill, for about all of the way. Really tested the legs on this one, very nice, the scambling was fun, and the top, surprised me, with all the infrastructure. Had a good look around, lunch, great walk. Did it in three. The track is very well worn, very dusty in places. Quite a few groups were heading up, on our way down. Lovely day.
