Emergency services have tragically found the body of the 20-year-old man who had been missing since embarking on a solo hike at a popular hinterland mountain at the weekend.

The 20-year-old Mountain Creek man who was reported missing from Mt Beerwah since Sunday, December 8, was found dead.

His body was found by emergency crews walking the western track.

Rescuers confirmed the discovery of the man on the northwestern face of the mountain.

Police and emergency crews are working to recover the body.

The man was last heard from about 1pm on Sunday and significant search and rescue efforts have been ongoing since then on foot and from the air.

The death is being treated as non-suspicious with reports he may have slipped.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

This comes off the back of rescue crews rushing to Mt Tibrogargan, in the cave entrance in the Glass House Mountains, to help a hiker who became stuck at the weekend.

Multiple fire crews and paramedics were called about 1.50pm on Saturday to reports of a climber needing assistance.

A Queensland Fire Department spokeswoman said multiple crews travelled to the Barrs Rd entrance to the mountain summit to extract them.

She said however crews did not need to access the mountain as another climber, not known to the hiker, was able to assist.

The good Samaritan climber helped the hiker down to rescue crews who were able to relocate the pair to the car park to speak with paramedics about 3.15pm.
