Gariwerd Bouldering Weekend

We're heading to Gariwerd (the Grampians) for two days of outdoor bouldering!

We'll depart early on Saturday morning and drive to the Gariwerd region, bouldering into the evening before heading to the Mt Stapylton Campground for the night. On Sunday, we’ll rise early for another full day of climbing before driving back to Melbourne, aiming to return around 9–10 pm on Sunday night.

We'll likely visit Andersens and Trackside Boulders, but open to suggestions!

Outdoor bouldering is hard and you will need some prior climbing experience to make the trip enjoyable.  As a guide, you should be consistently climbing grade 18 (5.10a / 5c) on indoor top rope or comfortably doing most green boulders at Urban Climb. If you're keen but not quite there yet, feel free to email me and we may be able to organise a more beginner-friendly day trip closer to Melbourne.

You’ll need to bring:

• Climbing shoes and chalk
• Ample water capacity
• Food for two days
• Camping gear (tent, sleep system, cooking equipment, etc.)

A trip meeting will be held on Tuesday the 13th to finalise numbers, gear, and drivers. Attendance is mandatory if you’ve signed up, unless you’ve contacted the me beforehand.

If you have any questions, you can ask at the meeting or email me directly.

Please note: This trip is weather dependent. If bad weather is forecast, we may need to reschedule or change the location.
