Description

Nice gently overhanging wall with a variety of climbing. Main draw cards being Drugs Over London and Slow Plunge. Morning sun and shaded in the afternoon. The 'Boring Slab' and 'Alex in Disneyland Slab' are also in this area, just below the main walking track opposite the Main Wall.

Access issues inherited from The You Yangs

National Park. Parks Vic website (Oct 2014) says "[...] Bookings are required for groups. Individuals are not required to book, but should check with the Park Office to enquire about the availability of sites. [...]"

Approach

20 mins gentle up hill along the Western side of the East West walk.

Ethic inherited from The You Yangs

Mixed climbing with trad and some sports options, as well as bouldering. Bring hangar plates, as many climbs are equipped with carrot bolts.
