Last weekend I ticked off a peak I've been eyeing for a long time.
Mount Barney is the crowning jewel of Queensland's scenic rim. Big, steep and rugged, it looms over the lesser peaks in the area and boasts expansive 360° views from the Summit.
Actually there are 2 summits - Barney East and West. I climbed the more popular East Peak, which at 1359m is slightly higher than West Peak (1354m).
Parking at the Yellowpinch Carpark, I hiked in and ascended via the South East Ridge - the second and more difficult of the official summit routes. After topping out on East Peak, I descended to the Old Hut camp site where I spent a blustery night in the tent. The next day I continued through the Rum Jungle campsite and descended via the South Ridge (aka Peasants Ridge) route, which is generally known as the 'standard' route up the mountain.
Mount Barney National Park is about 2hrs drive south of Brisbane and sits adjacent to the QLD / NSW border.

Amazing ! We will summit Mt Barney one day! Love watching insights before heading to a area! Let’s us know what it’s like!😊😊😊
Thank you! definitely do it, it's a great spot.
Awesome video Ben! Hoping to do this one myself one day. Looks epic!
Thanks a lot! Barney is one of my favorites.
Nice video. Very peaceful hike. Well done. Always cool to find another hiking channel. New follower here. Crow✌️
What a great spot for a night camp!
Yeah it’s beautiful up there for sure!
That looks so peaceful i have to do it. Were there many people on the tracks?
I've been up the SE ridge twice now and didn't see many other either time. You can expect a few people on or near the summit and on the South (peasants) ridge though.
Nice! I like how you put your video together although you’ve climbed solo...me and my hiking group plan to eventually climb Mt Barney though we don’t plan to camp overnight.
Thanks very much Jomar! I'm sure it's a great day trip, I just tend to travel slow!
I bets it very dry there
See if you can see mt warning in the distance
What camera are you using mate?
Hi, I use a GoPro 7 and an Osmo pocket, because I can’t decide which I prefer!
Nice job. How long did it take to get up the Ridge?
Scott Ricardo Thanks! Roughly 6 hrs from car park to summit.
@@TheAdventurousBen big Effort mate ,nice one , ruggid spot
@@Forged721 thanks very much. Yeah it’s great there.
Are you going to try Logan Ridge we can try together as I have not done that route successfully.
Hey Thanh! I wasn’t thinking about it at the moment tbh... have you tried it before?
@@TheAdventurousBen I went halfway up Logan Ridge and wasn't sure of the way. I had to turn back. It is challenging and not obvious as SE Ridge.
I live in Brisbane, how I get there?
Hey Juan - it's about 2 hours south of Brisbane. Check out parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/mount-barney
