Mt Toolbrunup

Getting there

From Albany drive along Chester Pass Rd until you see a dirt road on your right named Toolbrunup Road. Follow this until the end to find a small carpark and the beginning of the track.

Route/Trail notes

The walk from the carpark starts of gently then slowly begins to get steeper and steeper. Eventually you will start a steep ascent up a scree field filled with loose rocks and boulders. Reaching the saddle the final push to the summit is pretty straight forward scramble. View from the top is arguably the best in the Stirling Ranges. 360 degrees from a peak that towers above all the mountains that surround it.

Permits/Costs

$15 per vehicle per day

Comments

This for me was the highlight of the Stirling Range. I found it quite similar to the summit ascent of Cradle Mountain. Scree fields, boulder fields and a magnificent view from the top. The scrambling wasn't all that difficult, no harder than anything you would find on Flinders Peak in QLD.
