Babylon Wall, Mt Ngungun

Hoping for some clear skies we left Brisbane early Saturday morning and made our way north to the Glass House Mountains. We headed to the previously unexplored Babylon Wall on the north eastern face of Mt Ngungun.

Walking through the damp scrub we arrived to wet rock and several small waterfalls cascading down some of the climbing routes. 


Undeterred we found some lower graded climbs and set off trying to tick off a few routes in the wet. We managed Dang Fool (14), Fool's Errand (14) and Herzinator (13) without slipping off the slick and slippery wall before the sun and heat of the day dried up a few more routes.


We then climbed Hijinx (17) and Gossamer (19) before running out of dry routes to attempt. We called it a day and heading back to the township for the customary post climbing pizza and coffee.

An enjoyable morning, I will return with things dry out.
