Mount Tibrogargan Summit (Glass House Mountains National Park)
13 Nov, 2016
Very Hard
2.7km return
2 hrs
Just so people know, it was open last Saturday and also today. Climbed it both days, so worth it! There are really only 2 scarier sections right at the start, further up its much less freaky because it rolls over ledges all the time so you're never that far from a safe ledge below you.

Bumped into a dude named Joseph who helped a bunch of us climb up, he was awesome!

Today was the day after big storms & rain yesterday so it was very humid. Clouds of little flies up top, where last week there were only a couple.

My point is, conditions vary greatly: don't put off going up because you read something bad, never know what you'll find!
Mount Beerwah Summit (Glass House Mountains National Park)

Climbed twice in October. Love this climb! The hardest part is definitely at the start with 2 wide rock faces which don't have a whole lot of grip points so take it easy.

Further up it becomes easier with lots of ledges and things to hold onto, not that steep either - can almost walk up. Half way up you reach the bottom of the cliffs and from there on it changes into a very mild walk/hike through forest and up rocky bits.

By the way, at the bottom scary bit there is an easier way from the left (just turn off left before the last set of stairs). Some people mark arrows on the rock to show the easier way up/down. It traverses the wide rock face with lips and ledges and tree trunks around to walk on so it's much milder.

Great walk, great views but be prepared for clouds of little flies as you find on all the summits of the glasshouse mountains!

Didn't involve any actual climbing, though there are cliffs and anything else to try on the way up. You also pass by a huge lava cave.

Nothing extreme here, just a steep paved path. Great views from the top though.

It's quite short, only took about 45min return?
