Several sectors around the Pinnacle facing both east and west for shade options all day long. Sectors vary in style, difficulty and quality. Pocketed slabs, steep jug hauls and full mountain multi’s. Walk-in is approximately 50min with two single trail access points circuiting the Pinnacles base. WEAR A HELMET - there have been instances of people throwing rocks down from the lookout above the crag.
This cliff is inside SEQ Water property, and no access agreements have been made. The fire trail and bushland is publicly accessible and the trails are well used by bushwalkers and fitness nuts. It is best to keep all climbing gear inside our packs to not attract undue attention.
The carpark and trail head is on Pine Creek Road, at a bend 1.4 km uphill after turning off from the Nerang Murwillumbah Road. Park parallel and orderly to maximise parking. Do Not block access to the two locked gates.
On foot take the gate signed for hiking trails, head downhill and turn right at the first junction. This will lead down and across a creek bed (often flowing) before starting back up hill. Keep right the next junction. At the following junction 60 metres further keep left. Slog it out along the fire trail up several steep inclines.
Please do not mark the trees or any other trail feature. Follow the info provided here to make your way to the cliff. If you see other user groups doing anything of the sort please educate them of their mistake.
Two single trail access points create a circuit around the Pinnacle base. Both trails split left off the main fire trail. The first (lower access), landmarked by a ‘Danger’ sign provides direct access to The Western Wall, ironically on the western side of the mountain. It can be continued left for all other sectors along the circuit. The second (upper access), 620m further along the fire trail, provides direct access to Entry Wall on the eastern side of the mountain and can be continued right for all other sectors. This trail is landmarked by a large white gum tree and used by most ridge hikers. Split right before straddling the fallen tree trunk and continue downhill to the base of the cliff.
This is a sport climbing crag. However, helmets are mandatory for walls like Sun Bowl, Ice Cream Wall & the Summit Wall where there hasn't been a lot of traffic, and extra care should be taken. Please take all litter with you and do your business away from the crag! Stay safe and have a good time.

A few years ago there was basically Frog Buttress and Coolum. Since then there has been more development than Barangaroo and South East Queensland should be on any climbers radar no matter what your style. Except ice climbing, definitely no ice climbing. But over 1250 routes with hard sport, multipitches and quality trad to make a great trip.
