Mt Ngungun Rock climbing 207 线路 在 岩场中

At 253m above sea level, 'Mt Ngungun' is the smallest of the main 'Glasshouse Mountains'. While there's no 'Mt Tibrogargan' style multipitch epics to be had here, there is nonetheless some great climbing on good rock. Add to that shadiness in summer, great views & easy accessibility, and it's easy to understand its popularity.

There are 6 distinct areas to climb at Ngungun: the 'Lower Cliffs', the 'Upper Cliffs', 'The Sentinels', 'The Hidden Slabs', 'Babylon' & 'Andromeda'. The 'Lower Cliffs' are the most easily accessed and probably the most popular.

There's no toilet at Ngungun and because it's such a high traffic area, crapping in the bush is unacceptable. Your options: do it before you get here, drive 5 minutes into the Glasshouse Mountains township where there are public toilets, or take it out with you (carrying a toilet kit makes this easier).
