Description

Situated four hours northwest of Melbourne, Australia, Mount Arapiles is widely considered the heartland of Australian climbing!

Join one of our certified guides for a 1+ day rock climbing adventure. While the conglomeration of crags may not look like much at first glance, thousands of opportunities for climbers of every level abound here.

Once we have met up, we will head right onto the rocks. Within 15 minutes we will have our pick from more than a thousand of different routes ranging in difficulty from easy to advanced.

As we go, we’ll be able to enjoy excellent views out over the Wimmera Plain, which eventually blends into the outback, and marvel at the deep ochre-red colour of the rocks on which we will be climbing.

The climbing conditions are also excellent.  The rock is a very dense quartzite sandstone and boasts numerous different face features, including baby-bottom slopers, and intermittent cracks.

Great face climbing and steep overhanging terrains are also quite prevalent here.

While trad climbing is the main attraction, there are also plenty of sport and top-rope climbing routes of which to take advantage of as well.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for your next rock climbing adventure on the myriad crags and faces of Mount Arapiles, near Melbourne, Australia!

If you like the look of this trip then we think you may also enjoy our  1+ day rock climbing trip to the island of Tasmania!

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
