"Climbed both peaks. 12 of us from Meetup group Happy Hikers left at 7.15 am and went slowly with lots of stops. Got back at 3.15 pm. Very muddy and slippery most of the way, but still all had a great time." — donizen • May 6, 2017

"Lead a Meetup group up both peaks. Great weather in the week before meant minimum problems with slipping. Not recommended if there has been substantial rain in the week before. One of the climbs in SE Qld that are a must for all hikers." — donizen • May 14, 2016

"Group of 15 decided to climb both peaks. I aggravated a torn muscle in my left leg and just managed to make it to the summit of the east peak. I was the only one not to proceed to the west peak. Total time for the group to complete the full trip from Garden of Eden Rd to both peaks and back was just under 5.5 hours." — donizen • Dec 31, 2015

"We went from the Tomewin, NSW side, access from end of Garden of Eden road. The twin peaks are actually called the 'Cougals' although it is referred to Boyds Butte on this map, you can actually see the twin peaks on the topo map. As the Cougals are referenced we will use this marker point. The trail mainly follows the old border quarantine fence right up to the East peak. Find the hidden cave just prior to the Eastern summit. We pushed on across the saddle to the Western peak, this was treacherous to say the least. Very loose footing and no room for error at the high exposure points. Watch the grass tree booby trap that can offer your final step in this lifetime! Although the western peak offers greater area on the summit, it is long overgrown by grassy reeds and does not offer any decent vantage points. The best escarpment views are from the Eastern peak. Fun, moderate level hike of a few hours round trip. Great views south/west of the Tweed Valley caldera and towards Mount Warning. Pacific Ocean views to the East." — mission96 • Jul 13, 2013
