This crag was singled out as closed in the draft GGLMP and is within the CV11 (Cultural Values) SPA. Might be best to climb elsewhere.
Head S from the Stapylton car park, near rock art site. Until you are just past Mini Castle Crag. Then veer right to grassy creek bed and follow this S for 50m. Then cross the creek bed. Keep going S for another 5 min., in open flat terrain. You will come to Doddery Rock then Mt. Pleasant is another 40m. S.
Alt approach if creek is high - Take right fork of gravel track toward art site, cross creek near the parks vic sign with the photo of firefighters on it. Follow general direction of creek, skirt right around initial denser scrub then back to creek. Obvious outcrops up on your right aren't Mt Pleasant yet, keep going in direction of creek for another 400 or so metres and you should come across Doddery Rock with Mt P up on the hill behind.
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.
