Great cracks in between grippy slabs
This is a serious area and is not recommended for Girra first-timer's! Most routes are long, single pitch slab routes which are mostly located on the western and southern walls.
There are multiple descent options from the summit - all involve a down solo. See Second Pyramid Descent 1 for a convenient one. Alternatively, you can walk accross the top away from the first pyramid, there is an obvious crack/fissure system somewhat to the left. You can drop several metres down a squeeze and pop out above an easy chimney - but remember you will have to hike back around.
Girraween National Park is located 260km (~3 hours) SW of Brisbane driving via Stanthorpe. From Brisbane, turn left off the New England Highway 26km S of Stanthorpe (signposted) and follow the road for a further 9km until reaching the park headquarters.
Access as per the first pyramid, but break off before ascending the first pyramid's summit to the left side until the second pyramid is in sight. Aim for 50 meters below scimitar through scrub.
A more direct approach is possible. Park where Pyramid Rd bends with a view of both pyramids (-28.826252, 151.950668). Walk through grassy field and then straight up through the scrub towards left side of the second pyramid.
Two campsites exist each with amenities; toilets, hot showers, laundry tub and running water. The Park Service suggests that campers book in beforehand especially if it is a long weekend or school holidays. The information centre is open 2-4pm week days and earlier on weekends.
Most of the climbing areas are above well used bushwalking tracks. Take care of walkers and tread lightly. This area has had access problems in the past and underlying 'ban climbing' tensions are still around.
DO NOT PLACE ANY NEW BOLTS anywhere in the Park Boundary. (As per the 2010 Park Management Plan.) Climbing is banned altogether on the First Pyramid and The Sphinx. Stay off climbs here at ALL times.
