Boyd's Butt extension OT M F4 T4

Departing Elsie Laver 7.30 am

Starting at Currumbin Cascades car park we will cross the creek near the old saw mill. We then head up a steep ridge before crossing a short distance on a fire trail.

From the top of this steep ascent, the terrain has become very overgrown requiring careful footing and navigation. We navigate across some rocky outcrops to eventually be below one of the Butts. We will then climb the middle Butt for morning tea.

We will continue on and enjoy a different view from the next Butt for another view point

Instead of returning on a now well worn but very steep track we will return via another gully/creek. This section will be a recce and may require rope assist for 2 short cliff/rock areas

We eventually return via Currumbin Creek where there will be plenty of swimming options for those interested

Both Butt ascents involve some steep rock scrambling. 

Also Plenty of swimming opportunities at the end of the hike.

A significant elevation gain so a good level of fitness is required. Full off track gear, longs or gaiters essential and plenty of water required.

This hike will only go ahead in dry weather
