Description

The Pull-Out is a small quarried area just down from the summit. When driving south from the summit, park before Dog Rocks in a wide spot on the left (about 1km from the summit) and walk uphill on the right across quarried blocks and vegetation for about 5 minutes - it is very close to the road. The Pull-Out consists of a mixture of slabs and aretes in an old quarry. On a large block to the left of the bouldering area lie three chiselled and bolted routes (up to grade 28) courtesy of Matt Brooks. The problems are on two tiers.

Access issues inherited from Mt Alexander

PLEASE READ IF IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME TO MT ALEXANDER

Most of Mt Alexander is a regional (not national) park, so while climbing is permitted general rules apply; dogs are permitted on leash, fires only in established fire places (from Parks Victoria website).

Being able to climb at Mt Alexander is a privilege and climbers need to act accordingly; especially given the increased amount of climbers frequenting the area due to Grampians closures. Please do not drop litter (e.g. fingertape) - in fact, if you can, remove any litter you see when you leave. Please keep to existing trails where you can. Do not engage in overzealous cleaning of climbs - keep it to the minimum. Don't harm any trees. Be courteous to fellow users of the park.

Toilets are available at the Leanganook campground and at the mountain bike park near the Oak Forest (close to Harcourt). Should you need to defecate please do so in accordance with established practices for wilderness behaviour (e.g. stay away from water courses, digging a hole etc).

Please see individual access notes for each area.

Ethic inherited from Mt Alexander

Do not bolt highball problems except with agreement of the first ascentionist. In general, keep bolting to a minimum. Since 2010 there was been almost zero bolting of new routes.

10
V2 ★★ Charlie's arete Boulder

Climb the beautiful arete on the right-hand side. A bit scary.

FA: Charlie Creese

11
V3 Charlie's Wall Boulder

Climb the wall right of Charlie's Arete using undercuts.

FA: Charlie Creese

12
V3 The Memory of Trees Boulder

Use the double undercuts about 3m right of Charlie's wall to climb the wall to the top. Traverse slightly left to top out due to loose rock.

FA: Peter Reynolds, 21 Mar 2015

13
V4 The Prelude Boulder

Start near the end of the line of reasonable undercuts. Traverse right to left and finish up Charlie's Arete BUT no undercutting at any time.

FA: Peter Reynolds, 21 Mar 2015

14
V3 MaDMAn goes to Heartbeat City Boulder

Climb the wall right of superfly. Named in memory of the legend Dave Pegg.

FA: Peter Reynolds, 2014

15
V10 Superfly Boulder

This is deceptively difficult. A very short problem - one hard move. Use the positive holds on the arete to reach the obvious ledge (finish here) - use a controlled pull from the ground - do not jump from the ground. Stand start.

FA: Simon Weill

16
V2 ★★ Leap for glory Boulder 3m

Start atop the detached pillar and jump to the ledge to the right of Freerider. Mantle to finish.

17
V1 Freerider Boulder 3m

Sit start, up slight overhanging crack to mantle.

FA: Andy crow & Courtney Whitehead

FA: Peter Reynolds & Peter Reynolds

19
V5 ★ The Dawn Wall Boulder 5m

Traverse the crack from left to right and top out.

FA: Peter Reynolds, 28 Mar 2015

Sitstart and climb the arete.

FA: Peter Reynolds, 28 Mar 2015

21
V1/2 Seamgrip Boulder 3m

The obvious diagonal seam down left of TTR climbs well and has undoubtably been done before. Slightly left of where marked on topo.

25
V3 Looks can be deceiving Boulder

This problem is on the outcrop on the horizon on the right as you walk up to the Pullout - about 5 minutes walk. Stand start and head up the vague arete

FA: Peter Reynolds, 2014

26
V0 ★ Fathers crack Boulder 4m

Boulder is located on the right hand side of the track that takes you behind the quarry.

Layback up the crack. A good warm up.

FA: Tom Hodges, 1 Sep 2019

27
V4 ★★ Lichenostomus Boulder 4m

Sit start matched on triangular hold on the right arete.long move to side pull then left to good rail. Straight up from here to slopey finish. Big chuck and crack are out. Holds are great. Big moves and fun sequences.

FA: Dave C

28
V3 ★★ Father of Malurus Boulder

Start as for Lichenostomus but go straight up.

FA: Dave C

29
V1 Mini arete Boulder

Sit start too short to be worthwhile but if you're bored.

Hide
Edit
30
V1 Slippery Gypsy Boulder 5m

Stand start on ledge, follow drill holes to the top. Moves are easy but feel harder because of how moist the rock is. Bring a rope to the top because the descent without one sent me to the emergency room

Hide
Edit
31
V6 ★★ Polar opposite Boulder 6m

Start matched on the obvious jug. Mantle with a high heel and crimp on the face. Slab top out. Located on the edge of the quarry. Might be easier or harder than v6.

FA: 28 Sep 2019

32
V1 ★★ Little Foot Boulder 5m

A nice warmup. Stand start with obvious horizontal rail. Move straight up through a network of edges and scoops to gain the juggy lip.

FA: Matt Campbell & Aiden Ellens, 12 Jun 2020

33
V4 ★★ Resurrection Boulder

A worthy addition. Sit start easily below little foot and move directly left to gain big foots RH starting hold (don’t climb up little foot and traverse left... that’s just a better way to do little foot) Up and left via thin moves to gain Big Foots flake and finish. Felt harder than V4 to start but will be much easier for the tall and went ok eventually, so we can start with this.

34
V3 ★ Bigfoot Boulder 5m

Small footers, big feet. Stand start with good right crimp and thin left edge. Make some wide moves up to the prominent flake line and follow to the juggy lip.

FA: Matt Campbell, 12 Jun 2020
