Mt Timrogargan - one of the Glass House Mountains from the roadside. We thought it would be a great idea to climb this mountain, Saturday 1/12/12, casually while it was 35 degrees. It is 364m in elevation and is a volcanic plug of hard alkali rhyolite that squeezed up into the vents of an ancient volcano 27 million years ago.

| View from along the Circuit track about to start the summit walk which was a fairly steep but rocky 1.5km return track. |
 |
| Looking out North West to the other Mountains. And a bushfire in the distance. |
  |
The lumpy bumpy mountain to the left is Mt Ngungun which we climbed the following weekend. About 1/2 way up the summit track.

| No OSH (Health & Safety) here.... It is hold on for dear life or fall off - Yay! |
 |
| That is Shahn throwing a wee tanty because it was too steep to climb up. Managed to get up that bit after about 30mins of perseverance and then was met with the near vertical cliff face that you see in the below picture and was going no further. Got up 3/4 of the way up, sweet as, that was enough! |
 |
| Yeah, it is pretty steep aye?! |
 |
| At the summit finally. Looking East towards Sunshine Coast. Sweaty as!! |

 |
Michael soldiered his way up to the summit, Shahn struggled with the near vertical freestyle rock climbing so that's her at the bottom of that part of the cliff - can you spot her?
