This is a secondary peak in the Glasshouse and has little climbing history. In the shade of his bigger and popular father, Tibrogargan, this little rocky knob has 3 climbable sides. The south face is a 70m high wall with some parts of clean rock and the east face (50m), has also some interesting rock higher up. The north-east face is a blocky low-angle affair suitable to scrambles and solo efforts.
The rock quality is standard Glasshouse, with an expectable number of detached rock and choss for a peak largely unclimbed.
As per 2016 this area is not offering climbing quality to the GHM scene, albeit it delivers an atmosphere of secludedness and a strong hint of adventure climbing that moves the climber away from the ever so popular sport and bouldering scene.
First Nations Information
The First Nations people from this area are Jinibara.
Tibberoowuccum meaning: Flying squirrel (chibur) hungry (waiarangum).
The Glass House Mountains area was a special meeting place where many First Nations Peoples gathered for ceremonies and trading. It is considered spiritually significant with many ceremonial and cultural sites still present and protected today. The Glasshouse Mountains hold significant cultural meaning to First Nations people with Mount Tibrogargan (the father), Coonowrin and Mount Beerwah (the mother) being central in local Dreamtime Legend.

Most 'Glasshouse Mountains' climbing is within the Glass House Mountains National Park. Please respect the environment and other people's enjoyment of it. Access to climbing here is a privilege, not a right.
The 2019 Ngungun track expansion & fortification work is now complete, and the mountain is once again fully open.
From the Trachyte car park walk back to Marshs rd and turn left. After 30m or so walk left into a 4X4 track and follow this until it forks: take the right side, Follow until you reach a T intersection, turn right and spot a rock cairn on the left side of the track. Follow a steep track for 10 minutes until you arrive on the top of the bushy ridge in front of another rock cairn. Follow the track on the left up and down a rocky saddle until you reach the final scramble just below the summit (20 minutes from car park). Here you can down climb the bushy gully on the left and contour the rock apron until you reach the Lego Pillar (just in front of the east face), or just reach the view point on the summit and abseil towards Tibrogargan.
Modern climbers establishing new routes have taken great pains to ensure any new routes do not interfere with the historic routes established many decades ago.
Retro-bolting of existing routes is unacceptable!
New routes shall make use of traditional protection where available.

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.
