Mt Arapiles in summer? Arapiles in late February can provide some excellent climbing. Enjoy the cool and shady gullies or the routes on the left side of Central Gully. Get up (reasonably) early and enjoy the sun’s rays on the nearby classics and well-worn trade routes in the Organ Pipes.  Maybe explore some new areas. All those famous walls and prominent buttresses of Arapiles have shady gullies nearby! These gullies sometimes have cool breezes emanating from the ‘bowels of Araps’.

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, Rhys Boyar, to register your interest.

These EOM@Araps/Djurite 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.
