This is the most Iconic and Runnable Route in Mount Barney National park.

Starting from yellow pinch car park you head up the southeast ascent of mount barney, once at the summit you then head down the other side towrds the rum jungle campsite in the saddle then back down the south route (peasants ridge) and follow it back to yellow pinch car park to finish.

This is a very technical trail that requires proper navigation skills and mountain running experience to attempt.

If you think you have what it takes to take down this FKT get your ankles ready!
