I love this mountain. At 1,622 metres it is the tallest mountain in Queensland. I love mountains, I can say the exact height of every mountain you can see within 3.6 km (possibly more) from my house.

Beautiful. Need to research in advance. You need to be careful about water. Both East and West approaches challenging. Watch the drive into the west side if it's at all wet.
Incredible experience. If you haven't done the return walk on the eastern side, you haven't done it. Just kidding, Western approach is demanding yet rewarding as well.
Great hike experience
Fantastic, both the Eastern and Western approach’s are different and unique. The lookout from the helipad on the Eastern is as spectacular as the lookout from the western summit boulders. Recommend not doing this summer.
Bartle Frere was an emotional and intense experience. My friends and I had a suboptimal experience. Here are some points you should know when hiking up: Check the forecast because rain can make it awful and if its cloudy the view from the summit is ruined; read on how to deal with leeches because there will be many; its a hard hike for some as there is some mild rock climbing and very steep parts in the trail. Overall, I am glad I did and suggest anyone looking for a challenge to go for it.
No whinging is allowed on the mountain
One of the most beautifully amazing and challenging hikes I have done. We were lucky enough to get a stunning view from the top... the rare 5-10% of the year apparently. Its a serious all over workout but the variety of terrain is really cool and the boulder field like a natural scrambling course. We did it comfortably in one day but we started early and are definitely of a very good above average fitness level. Parts of boulder field are exposed and not for nervous hikers. Lying on the rocks on the top felt like being on top of the world, magic. Went to helipad and the summit from josephine falls side. Jumping in the falls after arriving back to carpark hot sweaty and exhausted was the sweetest end to an unforgettable day. About 8hours roundtrip for a very fit and athletic person that can rockhop at height. Would advise to leave 10-12 hours in wetter conditions this hike would take so much longer. Dont take any risks. Always hike in your comfort level and be prepared for the unexpected.
