Description

This little overpass was THE place to train for 40+ years before climbing gyms. The area's notorious for its crimpers - so warm up! There's a few good traverses and climbs.

Beware of the traffic, both cars and bikes.

Approach

BIKE and FOOT: Approach via the cycling trail that runs along the Yarra River.

CAR: Best to park somewhere along the side streets off Yarra Boulevard (e.g. Park Grove) or find a spot at the Melbourne University's Burnley Campus.
