Mt Arapiles in very late winter? Late winter cab provides good conditions for climbing at Arapiles. The flowering wattle and mint bush provide glimpses of spring! Enjoy the sunshine when it’s there and of course the friction is still optimal.

The warming sun’s rays in the morning on the nearby classics and well-worn trade routes in the Organ Pipes can be stunning in ‘early spring’.  Central Gully Left or the Northern Group provide a warm-up walk-in and some great single pitch routes.

We will be camping in The Pines, close to the action. There is no better rock to fondle than the hard quartzite of Arapiles, so contact your Trip Leader, Peter Upton, to register your interest.

These EOM@Djurite/Araps trips are intended for all levels of climbers, however Beginner spaces will be limited by the number of experienced leaders who come along. It is recommended that Beginners contact the Trip Leader as soon as possible.

All intending participants must contact the trip leader prior to the trip. Please send through some details about your experience and climbing gear and hopefully we’ll see you there.
