Description

Far northern end of the 'Victoria' Ranges. Has a collection of the most brilliant mid-twenties climbs in the country.

Limit. de l'accès

Access is currently restricted to most (if not all) crags in the Eureka area, although survey's have been requested at a number of crags.

NB: While this part of the Vic Range hosts some of the most valuable art and cultural sites in Gariwerd, it should be noted that the climbing community is not aware of any specific CH at the listed crags (except for Yanganaginj). Also of note is although all the climbing areas are within the RNA (Remote and Natural Area), only some crags are within Cultural SPA's, or SPA's with Natural Values (NV-SPA's). These have been noted on individual crags.

Approche

All of the crags lie above the old vehicle track to Yanganaginj Njawi (Emu's Foot). This track is closed at all times making for substantially longer approaches. When Matthew Track (seasonal 4WD) is open, it can be used until below the chosen cliff, shortening the length of the walk. The Jananginj Jawi track is gained from Red Rock Road about 5km north of Muline Creek.

Matthew Track is a further 1 km north on Red Rock Road or can be accessed from the east off Syphon Road. Matthew Track is seasonally closed, usually from mid-June to first of November. Sections of this track are heavily rutted and there are some long, sandy stretches unsuitable for 2WD but this isn't necessarily a show-stopper. See individual crag access notes.

Éthique hérité de Grampians

Grampians / Gariwerd access issues have emerged (2019) due to potential risk to the environment and cultural sites. Climbers need to be aware that there are significant Aboriginal sites in the Grampians, especially in cave areas. Please take time to understand the access situation. Leave no trace and climb responsibly.

Please note that due to the fact that the Grampians is a National Park, dogs and other pets are not allowed in the park except in vehicles on sealed roads and in sealed car parks.

===Cliffcare Climber’s Code===

  • Find out about and observe access restrictions and agreements.

  • Use existing access tracks to minimise erosion - keep to hard ground & rock surfaces.

  • Do not disturb nesting birds or other wildlife.

  • Protect all native vegetation, especially at the base of cliffs. Wire brushing to remove mosses and 'gardening' in cracks and gullies is not permitted. Use slings to protect trees while belaying or abseiling if belay anchors are not provided.

  • Respect sites of geological, cultural, or other scientific interest. Do NOT develop new climbs in or near Cultural Heritage sites.

  • Chalk has high visual impact - minimise your use of it. Parks Victoria have requested the use of coloured chalk in Gariwerd.

  • Minimise the placement of fixed equipment, especially where Trad gear is available. Respect any "no bolting" areas.

  • Do not leave any rubbish - take it home with you.

  • Dispose of human waste in a sanitary manner (bury, or even better pack it out). Do not pollute water supplies.

  • Off-road driving is illegal in Gariwerd.

  • Keep campsites clean, and do not light campfires outside of official metal fire pits.
