Description

Bring bolt plates as nearly all climbs are on carrots.

The top of the climbs are very slabby over course granite, so take this into account for cleaning after lead climbing.

If you're looking to top rope make sure you have the ability to extend the anchors quite a bit (up to 6-8m).

Access issues inherited from The You Yangs

National Park. Parks Vic website (Oct 2014) says "[...] Bookings are required for groups. Individuals are not required to book, but should check with the Park Office to enquire about the availability of sites. [...]"

Approach

From Big Rock car park take the track to Big Rock, 2 minutes walk. On the left as you arrive is the Eastern Block with the Main Wall on the opposite side of the granite outcrop.

Ethic inherited from The You Yangs

Mixed climbing with trad and some sports options, as well as bouldering. Bring hangar plates, as many climbs are equipped with carrot bolts.
