Ngungun

"Climbed in the dark to see the sunrise. Also to see Geminids meteor shower, but heavy cloud cover thwarted both. Meetup group Happy Hikers event. One of nine HH events for the day, followed by our annual Xmas BBQ lunch, this year held at Golden Beach Caloundra." — donizen • Dec 14, 2019

"Led a group of 36 members of Meetup group Happy Hikers up the north western side. Quite a few needed a rope as it was a bit slippery after overnight rain. 16 then climbed Coochin from the south." — donizen • Nov 2, 2019

"Led a group of 29 members of Meetup group Happy Hikers up northern face. All but 5 managed to scale the slippery rockface. Went down via Owl Pillar and the lake. Followed by southern climb of Coochin." — donizen • Feb 3, 2019

"Led a group of 24 members of Meetup group Happy Hikers up the north side of Ngungun. Very slippery and only 12 of us out of 25 managed it. The rest went round to Fullerton Rd and joined us on top. On the way down we went via Owl Pillar ( a few climbed this) and then to the lake. Followed by Coochin from the south. " — donizen • Feb 2, 2019

"Led 25 members of Meetup group Happy Hikers around Ngungun showing them the off-track areas. Climbed from the north to the plateua below the summit, then down to the cave, then Owl Pillar and finally the lake on the eastern side. " — donizen • Jun 24, 2018

"Led a group of 20 up the north side. Came down via the tourist route to Owl Pillar, followed the rough path down easterly to the fire trail, then back to the cars on the north side. Also visited the lake on the east side of the mountain." — donizen • Jun 17, 2018

"Decided to scale Ngungun from the north. Started from Sahara Rd and went up to the cliffs, then to the right and found a way up on the north west side. Came back down to Owl Pillar, then went along the base of the cliff back along the east side, then bush-bashed our way down to the fire trail and back to the car." — donizen • May 19, 2018

"My friend Kerry Smith invited me to join her and her friend Denise to do a slow relaxing climb. We took our time, explored the cave, went down the south western ridge, then I proceeded to explore the flat area below the ridge." — donizen • May 6, 2018

"Climbed to see the sunset, then supermoon rise over the ocean. Lots of rain around and cloudy so did not see either. Still great atmosphere being dark and eeire, and with just the three of us quite different to the usual times where there are heaps of people there." — donizen • Dec 4, 2017

"Members: Daz, Corina, Tara Difficulty: Grade 3 (well formed, steps in difficult parts) Time: 1.75 hrs (we dawdled coming down and spent lots of time at the top) Description: Great climb with Corina & Tara. Different levels of forest along the way from dense rainforest like wet forest to open scrub nearer the peak. Cool cave along the way. Excellent outcrops at the top for the kids to climb around on. Scary cliff to look over. Lost Tara on the way back down due to Darryl & Corina taking shortcut... ;-)" — Ormo • May 19, 2013
