접근 문제들 Grampians으로부터 상속된

Climbing restrictions apply to many crags in Gariwerd/Grampians. Some of these restrictions are likely to change over time as assessments are completed. Tags are being applied to most crags to reflect their current status. Additional access-notes are provided to clarify restrictions where required (and will over-ride this notice). Current and further Parks Victoria advice can be found at https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/grampians-national-park/rock-climbing-in-gariwerd

As of mid-2017 the waterworks track gate is open at Glenelg River Road. Park at the waterworks weir (-37.357796, 142.217157). Cross creek and follow cairns along creek. Tortise wall is next to the main creek. A line of cairns branches (left) up the steep north side of the gully. Don't go this way (towards Ruined Castle) - stay next to (or in) the creek. ~15-20 mins walk.

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.

The following routes are on the West-facing walls which see the sun just after midday. Most routes require abseil descents. Some fixed ropes / slings are in place, but treat with caution.

Climb the weakness to the overhang and move right to the arete. Up to ledge and walk off.

Start: At the left-hand side of the wall is an orange recess. This climb was originally called 'Golden Gaytime'.

FA: Michael Hampton & Peter Woodfield, 1991

Bold, with a crux close to the ground with a nearby tree ready to puncture your kidneys.

Start on the left side of an arete at the left side of the cliff, 10 metres left of the flake of Aimless Blade.

When over the bulge, reach right and climb straight up the wall above.

FA: Kevin Lindorff (solo), 1983

Seamed corner right of "Me Old Mate Darth", then wall to overlap. Step right onto slabby dish and up.

FA: Glenn Tempest & Michael Hampton, 1991

Start: Start at right-leading flake towards left side of cliff.

  1. 15m (16) Climb the flake and move up to a tree.

  2. 30m (14) Step left and up thin cracks. Step right to a break in the overhang, pull over and go up.

FA: Kieran Loughran & Gary Wills, 1981

10m R of Aimless Blade (was mistaken that that route on the FA) Climbs the vague blocky flake that ends after 10m. Then reach L and climb the wall above to Abseil tree. A direct finish through the prow might be possible?

FA: Lachlan Milne & Rory, 1월 2024

Climb face a couple of metres right of the wide crack. When the easier slab is reached, drift leftish to tree.

Start: Start about 25 metres right of "Aimless Blade" ata wide crack.

FA: Kieran Loughran & Meg Sleeman Easter, 1988

Tackles the nice Arete L of Little Escapes. Gear is slightly fiddly, but adequate. Start up the shallow juggy corner. Go R around roof and straight up blunt arete. Escape L at the top and up to abseil tree.

FA: Goshen Watts, 17 12월

Obvious orange corner starting off a ledge, just a few metres right of "Hot Cross".

Up technical corner to middle of roof and traverse easily left to stance. Scramble off left to rap tree on Hot Cross. There was originally a second pitch up corner and bulge but it adds little value.

FA: Kieran Loughran & Peter Watling, 1981

A whimsical journey. Start 3 metres right of "Little Escapes" at a thin line just left of arete.

Thin line then step right to shallow corner on arete. Up corner to ledge just right of large roof. Step left above the roof (?large cam handy) and climb leftwards up the face.

FA: Kieran Loughran & Ian Anger, 1985

Descent from the following 4 routes can be made via a large tree at the top. (Directly above Just in Passing). 35m to the ground, lands you at the head of the lower 'descent gully'.

Enjoyable. Start just right of Vasco below a crack.

Up to and up crack. Over bulge and easily up to a ledge. Now straight up wall above. Move left and up to finish. Going direct to the tree at the top goes at about grade 17.

FA: Meg Sleeman & Kieran Loughran, 1988

Up the middle of the wall of the descent gully. Could be done in one pitch. 32m Abseil from higher tree lands you at the head of the descent gully.

  1. Start 3m R of Have I Ever Told You. Up face, aiming for short diagonal crack.

  2. Over flakes, then take a R up slight ramp - finishing up thin wall above.

FA: Alt., Bernie & Goshen Watts, 12 3월 2022

Bold in parts but escapable.

Start 3 metres right of Have I Ever Told You, 2 metres left of the head of the gully.

Go straight up the wall to a horizontal break below a thin seam up a smooth slab. Traverse 3 metres right along the break then go up the face via a scary rock-over. Continue directly up to obvious right-leaning corner. Climb corner and step left. Hard moves up shallow diagonal groove and then go straight up the wall.

FA: Kieran Loughran & Ian Anger, 1985

Thrilling pitch at head of descent gully.

Climb the left edge of the slab to a tree. Bridge short corner behind tree to ledge. Hand-traverse right to the undercut arete which is followed to the top.

FA: Kieran Loughran, Heather Phillips & Stephen Burke. Easter, 1985

Juggy wall just left of the creek.

Start at shallow corner by creek and climb just left of the arete. At the big ledge move left and continue to the top.

FA: Michael Hampton, Jeff Robertson & Rhyl Shaw, 2000

The Main, shady wall in the creek. Sees the sun around 3pm in summer.

An entertaining problem with an exciting finish; cruelly stolen from Ferret.

Start at the steep flake on the left side of the overhanging wall left of the obvious chimney/cleft.

tart up the flake and finish up the thin seam.

FA: Simon Mentz & James Falla, 1989

Demanding route up overhanging wall right of "The Boys That Were Naughty". Boulder to or stick-clip first bolt. One of the bolts is actually a peg; probably should be replaced with a bolt.

FA: Glenn Tempest, 1994

Somewhat contrived.

Bridge the cleft right of Bad Boys for a few moves then traverse left along the horizontal (peg runner) to finish as for Bad Boys.

FA: Glenn Tempest & Stuart Imer, 1991

Funky 3D climbing is both unnerving and exciting. Thin crack/seam at edge of chimney cleft, 3 metres left of Tortology until it meets the cleft. Heave around right and up.

FA: Greg Aimer & Christine Freestone, 1993

NA: Geordie Webb & Jessica Mcmahon, 20 1월 2018

Quite thin climbing up a steely-grey "slab". Take lots of small wires. Thin seam up grey face right of chimney-cleft.

FA: Kevin Lindorff, Keith Egerton & Kieran Loughran, 1983

The enjoyable vague arete 6 metres right of the chimney-cleft to the terrace. Originally done as two pitches but pitch two is rarely repeated and is described separately (Turning Turtle) There is a rap anchor above YTTDF

FA: Ed Neve & Gary Wills, 1981

This is the exciting but rarely done second pitch of Tortoise.

Start at the belay at the top of Tortoise. Move right and up to the right side of the distinct prow. Traverse left below the prow and up the corner above.

FA: Ed Neve & Gary Wills, 1981

Contrived route with some bolts just right of "Tortoise".

FA: Geoff Little, 2000

Sustained and intricate climbing on the immaculate wall right of "Tortoise". Climb the best bit of the wall past a bolt then veer left to easier ground.

FA: James Falla & Simon Mentz, 1989

Used to be graded 27, it is probably easy for 26. The obvious finish to this great route. Instead of veering off left after the first bolt continue straight up past a second bolt. Both bolts are new (2012) and there is a rap anchor above.

FA: Steve Monks, 1993

Direct start to Snail and improves the line immensely. Takes 3 FH left off the ledge and up to join the line (wires and small cams required).

FA: Goshen Watts, 17 12월

Good first pitch.

Start: Start at short chimney with rotten chockstone right of the smooth wall. 2nd Pitch ascends a difficult R leading diagonal line visible just R of prow.

  1. 25m (19) Up onto rotten chockstone and take left-hand line to terrace.

  2. 25m (19) Move up right and climb diagonal crack-line.

FA: Ed Neve & Gary Wills, 1981

Again, a good first pitch and vaguely described second pitch. Start at the chimney as for "Snail".

  1. 25m (18) Onto the rotten chockstone and take right-hand line to terrace.

  2. 25m (18) Up a series of walls to the top.

FA: Ed Neve & Gary Wills, 1981

Start at ramp 8 metres right of Slug. Gain the right-leading flake by a traverse left from the easy ramp. Up the line and exit vertically to the belay ledge.

FA: Kieran Loughran, Stephen Bourke & Heather Phillips. Easter, 1985

A very fine pitch. The unpopular second pitch is written up separately.

FA: Keith Egerton, Kieran Loughran & Kevin Lindorff, 1983

The original second pitch of "Floaties" is much harder than the first and is not popular though it's not too bad. Start on the ledge a few metres right of the belay on "Floaties", beneath the right-hand end of the roofs. There used to be a stump hereabouts.

FA: Kevin Lindorff, Kieran Loughran & Keith Egerton, 1983
