Ready for a weekend of incredible outdoor bouldering at Gariwerd? Gariwerd/Grampians is home to some of the Australia's best bouldering (and some say the world). 

We will be climbing nearby Halls Gap which also happens to be the closest grampians crags to Melbourne and a 3 hours drive.

Note this trip is overnight: you will need to bring/hire appropriate gear for camping overnight (ie tent, sleeping bag, mat, and more). I will send out a full itinerary list later. If you have a car with roof racks, you'll be prioritised for this trip. 

This trip is intended for climbers that are able to climb at least orange level climbs at Urban Climb (V3/6A). This is mostly to ensure you have the best experience on this trip as otherwise it may be limiting. If you aren't this level yet, you're still welcome to come however there may be times where there is no climbs that suit your skill level and you might just have to hang out instead. Note that outdoor bouldering grades are usually harder compared to indoor grades so if you're unsure about what a orange level climb is, come talk to the trip leaders on the meeting night.

Friday:
- Leave from the clubrooms friday afternoon/evening to Plantation campsite. 

Saturday:
- Climb at Venus Baths Crag (10 min walk from Halls Gap town)

Sunday
- Climb at Bleachers Crag (30 min walk from town)
- Drive back to Melbourne in the afternoon/evening
