    Caves route of mount maroon, scenic rim. Easy to follow the maps, lots of bush bashing and leaf litter which makes it slippery at times but a relatively easy climb. Not very technical but have to be comfortable with slip...

    I did a previous one of these as a recon trip going to the cave and going east, then up the Gorge, and then turning to go down the tourist trail. That was like the trial version. The freeware version. This time I refined...

    Off trail hike to the Mt Maroon caves and summit. Must be well prepared and have a map, as lots of scrambling, and had to backtrack a few times.

    Scramble to the top of Nympho Butress then abseil down through the cave. You will need abseiling gear for the cave, alternatively could just scramble back down.

    If you only download this trail as your guide you are an idiot and should not be in the bush. Do some proper research. Also I don't give permission for any rockclimbers, meetup (eg Happy Hikers, Hiking SEQ), Facebook gr...

    Mount Maroon is a hard climb but the views are fantastic. Mount May is brutal. Lots of loose rock and dangerous coming down.

    Ok so you want to do the cave and then go up to the summit, but the west ridge is a bit far, and you don't want to back track to near the beginning of the track. Well, there is a 3rd alternative. Heading east and then go...

    After the cave make sure you pick up the trail that’s takes you down. If you try to walk along the rock face like me you’ll run out of room fast unless you have a rope!

    Follow the path we went down not up. Stay on main tourist track until you see man made rock structures to your right, approximately 300m in with a fence line on your left.
