Access: 4 Wheel Drive Track Undrivable

Walked into Ravine on 3/12/22, the 4 wheel drive track is VERY damaged, especially the back half. I would imagine to be completley impassable in a vehicle. Another group got stuck trying to drive in, don't try it!

description

The first and best route at the crag, borderline 3 stars? Unique for the 'Grampians' - climbs and looks more like limestone. Great sustained climbing on water polished jugs. Surprisingly overhung. Located in the middle of the south face, directly in front of small pine tree. When it gets tough around the 5th bolt dog-leg left to find the better holds. Seeps for several days after heavy rain.
