Mount Lindesay, Queensland

Mt Lindesay
Despite appearances, Mount Lindesay offers few opportunities for rock-climbers, due to the unsound nature of the rock (decaying rhyolite). There is one steep and exposed scrambling route to the summit, rated at approximately grade 6-7, which starts at the south east corner of the upper cliffs. However, this is not a bushwalking route as such, and anyone making an ascent should have basic rock-climbing and abseiling skills, or be under the guidance of experienced rock-climbers.

It is one of a number of peaks in the McPherson Range, and is remarkable for its tiered summit, the eroded remnant of lava flows from the nearby Focal Peak shield volcano.

The markers on the overhead power lines are there for Hangliders and Hotair Balloons that use the area.

I didn't think it was Britain :-)

That's quite a shape, but me, I prefer 'flat-mountain' walks....

A super view of this strange shaped peak.
I must admit from the thumb I thought it was Lindisfarne Priory!
