This month’s EOM@Araps/Dyurrite is a long weekend (in Victoria) – perfect for those wanting to avoid the AFL Grand Final in Melbourne by going climbing. (Friday to Sunday).

Dyurrite/Mt Arapiles provides some great climbing in early spring. There are plenty of options when choosing cliffs at this time of the year. Depending on the weather, multipitch-climbing on the Watchtower Faces, Pharos or The Organ Pipes can be perfect. On other days, the single pitch climbing of Central Gully Left might be best. Or go for a walk towards the Northern Group and climb at some of the more sun-soaked crags.

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, Rob Bannwart, to register your interest.

These EOM@Araps/Dyurrite trips are intended for all levels of climbers, however Beginner spaces are 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.

Car-pooling will be facilitated using a google spreadsheet for those who are interested. This is optional and each individual needs to make their own risk assessment regarding COVID and choosing to car-pool.
