Leaning Peak, via either short or long leaning ridge, is a serious outing for bushwalkers. A line of least resistance should be picked with care, because the terrain is very exposed and the slab can get tricky at times. It's only a low rockclimbing grade but once you are in the top half, you realise why is one of the most "technical bushwalk" in SEQ. A rope is mandatory IMO (and knowing how to use it) even if you decide to come back the same way without the abseil off the summit. But in saying this, I still believe is the most spectacular route on Barney, including the approach on Barney creek. Very sad to read about someone losing their life...
