Note: These climbs include extra buffer time, but hopefully we will be able to do it in shorter times and reach back to campsite earlier, ideally around 7:30PM
Don’t forget to read Sydhikers disclaimer here.

Yadboro River Crossing
River is a bit high, pretty much upto knees so we need to take off our shoes – And go full naked (just kidding). And the journey starts….
Cooyoyo Campsite
That’s our staging area. The sunset here is awesome. There is a water creek nearby too if we get short of water. Any change of minds or too tired people can wait here, they don’t have to climb up if they don’t want.
The Climb
We have to go light on top, so our best bet is to put the gear in our camps and carry a small bag pack with your water and snacks – and ofcourse cameras and drones – and torches (in case it gets dark).
The Castle
Its all yours. Pictures, videos whatever you want – Just don’t jump off the cliff – Life is beautiful.
Looks like a plan mate !!!
Sounds fun, extremely keen, unless something else comes up.
Superb
Good work mate
Lock and load 💥
Waiting to Conquer it!!!!
