- Description:
-
Mount Macedon is a small town located 64 kilometers northwest of Melbourne. Camels Hump is the highest peak of Mount Macedon. This rocky outcrop was once a small steep-sided volcano. It's steep and solid rock, with a variety of short, pumpy sport routes and taller trad lines calls to climbers not wanting to make a long drive to the bigger named crags. If you're leading grades 16 to 20 there's plenty of quality here worth ticking.
- Approach:
-
Take the Calder Hwy out of Melbourne. Get off at the Mt Macedon exit and head up the Mount. The easiest approach to the crag is to simply walk along a trail marked "Emergency Use Only", that leaves from the Camel's Hump car park, and weaves around to the base of the Omega Block area.
