Ascensioni in Leaning Peak come Onsight

A couple of mishaps and navigation errors turned what was meant to be a 11hr hike into a 2 days adventure. Had to sleep on the mountain for the night under emergency blanket & tarp. Ran out of water the next day but luckily we have some purifying tablets within the group. Definitely bring headlamp & extra supplies if you are planning to do this route.

Came to do Face of Long Leaning and missed the start. Decided on playing it smart and calling it and jsut to summit another way. Ended up going up something not quite this. Messed up the descent. Long day out. Lower Portals Water is the best tasting thing I've ever had. Glad we carried all the gear and ropes all day to never use it

The crux was rock hopping down the creek bed at 2.30am after 22hrs of climbing/walking/abseiling. Good to see what the mind can push through! Pretty sure it's called leaning peak cause I was leaning on stuff and things the whole way to stop falling over from fatigue.

Turned into a bit of an epic. The climb being the easiest/most enjoyable part - the upper pitches being absolutely sublime! Rocky Creek descent by head torch was a challenge of the will. 22 hours car-to-car. Would descend Short Leaning Ridge next time for sure.

Woohoo! This was a great adventure and one of the hardest and longest hikes I've done. I was already pooped before we reached the start and we went a bit off track. The rock hopping section along barney creek was super beautiful. Great views all the way up the ridge and cool abseil from leaning ridge. Finding our way down North ridge was a bit challenging but satisfying each time we made slow progress down bypassing a steep section. All in all 11 hours starting and finishing at lower portals car park.

Epic day out, scoped out North Face of Leaning Peak for an attempt in a few weeks. Continued up North Peak and up to East Peak and descended via SE Ridge.

A fun ramble with the crew, well guided thanks Morag and Ryan.

Absolutely mint climb, rope only needed to rap down top of leaning peak. Done in hiking boots. Epic views and exposure. Camped overnight at rum jungle.

A little bit of exposed, technical scrambling where you want to be well aware of hollow flakes and loose rock. Absolutely fantastic route. Probably the best unroped route up mt barney.

As grand a day-venture as you can have in SEQ! More like 370m as rather than the 300m description. Incredible slab climbing on the whole route, apart from the crux section up a rotten corner with uninspiring gear. Proud of pushing through the mental battles on this one.

There is some awesome multi pitch slab potential to the left of this route which will be just stellar climbing. An awesome contender for ground-up mixed routes I reckon.

3 hours hike-in, 5hr20 on the route, 2.5hr hike-out.

Really good as an adventure climb by Queensland standards! I was expecting long cracklines to follow for pro, but was granted with really nice slab pitches instead, with these awesome little pockets and grooves perfect for cams. Good belays, cruisy runouts, loooong pitches, a bit of loose rock to keep things engaging, and gorgeous views all round. Got off-route on this, but I'm barely sure if there's an on-route. It's really a choose-your-own adventure sort of cliff! It's an epic adventure that really should get explored more often. 12 hrs car to car. Descended via Rocky Creek.

What a super-great hard bushwalk. 9hrs return. You need 50m rope to rap off end, otherwise only option is walking back the same way.
