20-28 April: Arapiles week

The WVCC April base camp will be a week-long event run from our usual campsite in the Upper Gums at Mt Arapiles-Toan campground from Saturday 20 April to Sunday 28 April 2024.

Payment for a camp site can be made via the Parks Victoria website (camping-in-mount-arapiles-tooan-state-park)

If you have climbed at Mt Arapiles, then it doesn't need any introduction. If you haven't climbed at Mt Arapiles, then the rock is quartzite, a metamorphosed sandstone, and the climbing is mostly trad, both single and multi-pitch, so bring a full rack (nuts and a full set of cams), helmet, and the usual items.

The decisions about where we climb for the day will be made each morning over breakfast and a cup of tea/coffee, and will depend on the wishes and experience of those present, and the weather. Anyone looking for someone to climb with can sort that out with the group at this time.

All intending participants must contact the trip coordinator, Marc Graesser,  prior to the trip to let him know you are coming, your level of experience and whether you need a climbing partner - and if you have any questions (0439 789 073; or email graesserm@yahoo.com)

You will need to bring all the necessaries for outdoor camping for the week.

  • camping gear
  • food and water
  • suitable clothing - check the weather forecast a few days prior

Food resupply can be had in Natimuk, or a longer trip into Horsham.
