    The track from Bald Creek camp ground to the Pyramid is well form with plenty of step to help get you to the rock face. It passes near the Granite Arch with a slight detour. The rock face gets steep and can be slippery is sections. The view from the top is is fantastic

    The view from the summit is stunning as you can have 360-degree view. For the best view try to go before sunrise (We walked in dark & enjoyed the sunrise). Few sections are very slippery and not advisable with kids (We walked two time, one with kids to certain level & another next day without kids to reach summit). The walk is amazing as it involves various steps. Public amenities are available at the base with plenty of car parking spots.

    Amazing hike to the Pyramids. It's more of an advance level 4 hike. Not too far, but the Rockey surface is a different challenge. Do not attempt the final rock climb unless you have proper hiking footwear. I used my runners and struggled on my way down as it was slippery as I could never imagine. Thanks to a experienced hiker helping me way down I am home today 🀣. Going up to the top is a bit difficult but you can make it. Coming down needs a lot of control and good footwear. It's a definite worthy hike. The view is rewarding. Bit of wind but not too much. Leave at least 4- 5 hours if you would like to enjoy it. I think there must be close to around 400 steps up to the base of the rock as per my rough calculation. Parth is well cleaned and clear until you get to the base of the rock. Then you got to follow the small white paint marks on the rock. That's the safest way to the top and back. Pics does not do any justice to show the difficulties in this hike. I had Optus coverage at the top and half way. So mobile signals can be patchy. There are nice rock pools in the national park if you would like to have a dip in the water. I would recommend to take the hike in the morning hours unless you are an experienced climber. There are plenty of ppl around to help you till about 2 pm. Then the amount of ppl visiting drops drastically. We visited during the weekend and only saw two couples going into the hike after 3 pm. Don't think they would have attempted the climb. Take some water and a fruit to snack. A hat is compulsory to keep you sun safe. Never ever attempt the rock climb if it is raining. You will have to get support in case you get stuck on the top during rain. Life is more important so call for helpline in case this happens. I loved it and enjoyed it very much. Just want to emphasise not to attempt the rock climb if you don't have proper hiking footwear, runners is a big NO. And definitely not in wet weather. Let me know how you go. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

    Amazing place to visit and hike. Recommended early morning if attempting to climb the pyramid. Gets pretty toasty in the sun otherwise.

    This was an interesting and enjoyable walk. Not too long in terms of distance however it takes time to scramble up the rock face which is steep and slippery, so you’ll need shoes with good grip! Only do this walk when it’s dry - any water makes the rock very slippery and dangerous. The views are beautiful! Follow along on our adventures around Australia @sambolomio

    A most impressive landscape. The Granite boulders are stunning and walking between them and climbing up the Pyramid rewards you with fantastic views. Assess how you will descend before starting the walk up.

    We went up the Pyramid & took us the longest time to go right to the top. Following the white-painted track will get you safely up to the top. What a beautiful view at the top. Need to take photos of the big rock.

    Amazing views at the πŸ” of The Pyramid. Good grippy hiking shoes highly recommended for the last bits. Coming down wasn’t as scary as we thought going upπŸ€ͺ

    A great walk with great views at the top. A bit steep so it requires some level of fitness. Make sure your shoes are grippy for the return trip. I wouldn't climb it in the wet.

    Great hike! Not to bad for the beginners, but if you want to reach the top - you will need at least hiking shoes with rubber bottom, because the rock gets slippery when it’s rainy! Even on a good weather condition I would recommend to wear proper shoes to get up. 360 view is stunning! Absolutely loved it! Hike itself not too long, people get there with kids, not too tiring I would say.

    100% worth the view. The climb up can feel a bit daunting depending on how you are with heights, but it's safe and doable even with an average level of fitness.

  • 5/5 David J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice short climb on granite. No real scrambling or hands required, but still fun. The views are nice and the only source of phone reception near the camp ground! The track is well marked with white paint once you hit the rock section. I’d really love the second pyramid to be better signed and accessible without doing your own route finding, but these days sadly the trend is shutting down fun climbs (Mt Warning, Coonowrin) rather than opening them up.

    Nice walk with beautiful scenery! Bring shoes with good grip and you’ll be fine. I am afraid of heights and it was just 100m which were a bit of a challenge, so no worries. Make sure you follow the white markers. We startet around 3pm and 27Β°C with a light breeze and it was fine. The part that might be physically challenging is the part where you already have a nice view, so you are more excited that exhausted.

    It was wonderful to see a big chunk of Rocks in the middle of nowhere. Balancing rocks on the cliffs were amazing and made me curious.

    Great walk, bit steep, can get busy.

  • 5/5 Rian E. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing spot. Had so much fun here. 10 minute walk to the base from the campsite and not a hard climb to the top. You dont need hiking boots. We wore joggers but could have done barefoot. The climb is steep but still an easy walk up. Not a climb. Go early to avoid the crowds and get the best light. Probably a 45 min return trip. But we spent an hour up there just taking photos and having breakfast.

    scary climb at the end up to the peak, I almost didn't do it but it's not as bad as it looks once you get going! definitely worth getting to the top for the view!
