Requirements: Ideally, you have been to a gym before. Competent trad leader are welcome to join and expected to help set up the top-rope.

Sean and I are once again running a trip to one of the best place in victoria to practice crack climbing : Black ians ! it's a great small cliff next to the Grampians, facing north and with a 5 minute walk in, what else could you ask for ?

Check the crag to see what's waiting for you : http://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/grampians/black-ians-rocks

We will be setting up top-rope so the trip is suitable for beginner. it's best if you have been to gym before so you know how to top-rope belay.

The plan is to leave Friday nigh, camp next to the cliff. Then spend Saturday and Sunday climbing. we 'll be coming back to Melbourne on Sunday evening.

You don't know how to climb crack ? Check out the crack school video from wide boys : http://www.wildcountry.com/videos-and-downloads/videos/how-to-climb-videos/crack-school-videos/

You can also practise on our bouldering wall it features a crack machine, just grab someone who seems to know what they are doing and he/she'll show you ( maybe, just try not to pic a sport climber :p )

Any question send me an email at alpinism [at] mumc [dot] org [dot] au , or grab me at the club meeting.
