Girraween Arrampicata su roccia 146 vie in falesia

Girraween National Park is a large area containing many fine examples of granite slab and face climbing. Most would agree that this is the finest granite climbing S.E. Qld has to offer. With little natural protection and some big run-outs, many of it's routes require an almost free solo approach. Don't be discouraged though, there are plenty of good routes with ample protection squeezed in between the blank walls.

A basic rack and a handful of hangers will suffice on most routes (and maybe some Dettol to clean that nasty granite gravel rash!). Remember - being allowed to climb at Girraween is a privilege. QPWS are aware of climbers and climbing activity in the park over the last 40 years, so be mindful & respectful of other Park users & the Park itself; keep a low profile, don't, f.ex., go strutting around with a harness & gear on. Do not climb above tourist or hiker tracks, do not establish routes above same. The routes established on the First Pyramid and Sphinx Rock have been taken down for this reason.

The abundance of granite bouldering potential in this region is almost unparalleled. Bear in mind you are in a QPWS park and be ethical with your cleaning of any rock, as well as your use of chalk (the rock is pretty grippy already!).

The best months for climbing are between the months of March to May and September to November as the other months are either extremely hot or can be very cold and windy. Winter is however a good time to climb with fantastic friction on the rock and the wind, if manageable, adds an excellent element of boldness to the routes. Be warned - it has snowed in the past, be ready for very cold weather if visiting mid-Winter.
