MOUNT BARNEY SUMMIT: SOUTH EAST RIDGE | VLOG 

If you were to look at some of my emergency response videos, Mt Barney gets lots of rescues simply because of how difficult it is. This is just me estimating but from what I have seen there are about maybe 20 - 30 rescues a year on Mt Barney, also some fatalities sadly. It’s definitely a trek for more advanced mountaineers. I was also out fighting the fires on Mt Barney last year and it certainly is amazing to see all the vegetation growing back again! Awesome video my guy 👍

These are getting better and better mate well done!

Thanks Dean, planning to get upto the top of Barney in August, this is a great insight...wow harder than I first thought. Thanks great video

Hells yes man, loved it!!!! Getting better and better

Mad video! So funny I'm watching this June 23rd this year 😌

I love that I’m not the only one who says ‘we’ when hiking/filming alone 😂 such an epic climb mate and beautiful shots to go with it! So glad I came across this little video 🔥

Great video, thankyou for reminding me how burnt it got over last season, ill have to get up there again soon 🌲🌲😊🌲🌲

Great video mate looks very different after fires have been through. I know this area very well after many Outdoor Ed bushwalks with students. Best time of the year for weather is probably May - October. Cheers

I really want to do this because I’m addicted to conquering mountains, but watching this makes my feet and palms sweat with fear.

Cool video. Great editing. Subscribed. I have been aiming to do this, but have heard it's quite a challenge. Been doing alot of camping there though. Did Mt Maroon 2 weeks ago and that was a good hike.

stunning video. You would not catch me do any of that stuff, so well done. Scary stuff.

This was a really great video ❤

Mate your hike videos are inspirational can’t wait to start doing some just gathering gear for my first one in July 🤘🏼

Nice vid mate. I think I'll worry about Mt Barney another day. I chatted on FB the other day with you on your Cooloola Great Walk vid. I went mountain biking on the Boundary Trail in the Snowy Mtns last year. After 11 km and pushing the bike up some very steep hills I was done. Problem was it was just as bad getting back.

Love that opening scene !

Great video!!! Shame it was so foggy. We did it at then end of May and it was amazing!! We have great footage from the top, definitely very challenging. I wish I have your video/editing skills.

Really like your video. I have done this solo twice, it took me 6 hours and 20 mins in good weather. And I just went Mezzanine Ridge yesterday, much harder than south east ridge but had a lot of fun.

I did Barney July last year and chanced a very clear day. I did nearly fall to death during the scramble near the peak and said I'd never do it again.... But after seeing your vid I want to give it another crack!!!

Ripper video mate, loved the drone footage. Sucks it was foggy.. I did this in Feb 2018. Up SE Ridge down Peasants. I remember a real sketchy part near the false summit, climbing up a rocky bit where there was some water. Didn't see anyone the whole hike! Got lost 3 times, (Once heading up and twice coming down a bit before the bit cutout tree to walk through. Backtracking and focusing hard on tree steam wear where hikers hold on when passing by helped a lot getting back on track! As well as the odd ribbon or triangle). Phone battery died on the way down soo couldn't use wikiloc. Lucky there was water at a creek crossing before Rum Jungle campsite otherwise I would have ran out. I took up 4L but wasn't enough. The clearest sunny day, fed big skinks by hand up the top, Army choppers doing laps around the mountain and big hawks circling in the sky. Cooled off at the lake down the bottom and had leg cramps the last 2 hours. Was an absolute ripper and looking back I can't believe I did it. Not the same fitness now that's for sure. I'll go back before it warms up!! I have a video of my Mt Barney hike on my RU-vid

Great video , great camera work

This is a great video

Did you get up there again? Really looking forward to this

Great video! I did it for the first time on the weekend and like your video didnt get the view I craved. Will be back also!

dude, youre a ledgend

Another great video. Mt Barney can be dangerous and people have died.

Best advice I can give you is dump that krapmandu equipment! There was a saying in the serious hiking groups while I lived in NZ. You only buy Kathmandu if you want to get rescued! I was involved in some very serious near deaths of other hikers due to multiple equipment failures. While living in NZ. I bought some of their gear many years ago thinking it was decent stuff. But it's not and can leave you in a pi kle when things break suddenly. They also don't want to acknowledge equipment failure or honor warranties! I climbed Barney around the same time you did after the fires. Carried around 23kg for an overnighter. It snowed not far to the south and could see a light dusting of snow down on Bald Rock to the south.

Hi Dean, how long did it take to climb up and and back from the summit and what time did You set off on the walk ... thanks

The lady at the very to is my science teacher

So i finally ended up doing the S.E Ridge!! Did it a month ago with a group of mates, it was awesome!! The view was crystal clear but windy as hell. Still enjoyed it regardless. But i topped it with Logans Ridge a couple of days ago, if you haven't done that one yet, definitely give it a go. Especially if you like rock scrambling! Although i will say this, you will learn a new definition for painful legs!! Hahaha

Hey Dean, When are you heading back?

Summer climbing will be brutally hot. Be careful.

Some great footage. Maybe a sandwich next time for a day hike!

So Mount Barney is tougher than Bartle Frere?

Is the climb/scramble harder than Tibro or Barney?

Thanks for the video Dean! I just did the Peasants trail on Sunday, yep my legs are really killing me as well haha. Question regarding 7:40, is that the sketchy section everyone talks about that's super difficult to climb??

Champion

Brother let us know when you go up again I’ll tag along😜 Done beerwah need something bigger

Climbed the south east Ridge in constant rain.... Not a wise decision but an experience it was 😅😅
