A large Boulder with a great variety of climbing.
100 metres from Gate at old Mt Abrupt walking trail. Park at gate, and walk west along obvious track until you reach the boulder, which you will be able to see from the gate. This property is private so please be respectful.
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.

Graphique de l'historique des voies
A thousands lives this boulder has lived. From very faint aboriginal rock art underneath the graffiti on the head wall (two figures), to fire pits and old bash in carrots. This boulder has gone from ancient shelter, picnic boulder, campground, car park to a now quiet bouldering spot. Please be mindful of the indigenous art underneath the Mt T 1973 graffiti, and don't add or climb routes on the blankish head wall (they would be V15 plus anyway)
