INDIGENOUS HISTORY
Taking care of the environment covers many areas. Many of the locations we climb at have had a previous history of indigenous culture. Some of this may not even be apparent to the untrained eye. Cultural heritage sites such as artwork and caves are a little more obvious, but much exists out there that consists of unobtrusive rock markers, chippings etc.
Teneriffe has a long indigenous history and after a visit with a concerned resident/historian and two clan elders, discussions took place to ensure that any cultural activity that has occurred remains as undisturbed as possible from now on. While no formal restrictions have been put in place, the hope is for no further cairns/rock formations to be created or in turn, dismantled. Much of the climbing in the area now has a quite well marked track to access it. Should it be decided on at a later date that some kind of directional signage is necessary at minimal points, small arrows will be attached to a tree.
PLEASE: NO CONSTRUCTION OR DISMANTLING OF ANY ROCK FORMATIONS/CAIRNS AT TENERIFFE
Access via private property:
The owner of the property in the saddle area requests climbers to follow the boundary of his fence and not cross through his property.
Wildlife:
Peregrines nest on the Magic Block, locals ask that you don’t climb there from August to early December.
Access from Western End:
Due to private landowners wishing to retain some control over access, they have asked directions not to be widely publicized. Instead, you can contact the Access Officer on cliffcare@vicclimb.org.au a few days before you wish to go.
Did you know that you can create an account to record, track and share your climbing ascents? Thousands of climbers are already doing this.
