설명

A major cliffline south of Deep Creek... offering expansive views, sunny cliffs, and water in the creek (Winter-spring). The climbing is interesting and varied... Although some of the rock is soft and sandy, there are quality walls, features and moves to be found. WINTER: Most cliffs (except a few South facing walls) are in the sun all day. SUMMER: Probably best to avoid, but there are a number of cliffs that start seeing the shade from 11am.

접근 문제들

Not permitted

On the "to be assessed" list. If PV can manage the approach. Creek Cliff might be the more convenient option for assessment.

접근

You can locate this cliff from the massive scar high up on the range just south of Deep Creek. A steep, one hour walk-in with some scrambling required. Ignore previous info to walk in from the top, which is long and convoluted. You gain some 350m in elevation in about 1.5km.

Location: 5.3km S of Roses Gap Rd / 6.6km N of Plantation Campground, about 200m S of where a vague creek crosses the Rd flanked by road markers. Pin (-37.003211, 142.488704)

The initial trail (about 50m in) is hard to pickup, and breaks off slightly R - but should not involve any bushbashing so be patient to find it! Once you're at the first outcrop the terrain opens up and a cairned trail leads the way.

윤리문제 Grampians으로부터 상속된

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.

History timeline chart

First visited in 2001 when a couple of routes were established by accessing from the top of the range, it wasn't until 2017 that the full extent of the area was explored when Goshen dragged a bunch of unwitting climbers up on his 40th birthday.
