The WVCC May base camp will be at Mt Arapiles on the weekend of 10-11 May, run from our usual campsite in the Upper Gums at Mt Arapiles campground. If you have climbed at Mt Arapiles, then it doesn't need any introduction. If you haven't climbed at Mt Arapiles, then the climbing is mostly trad, both single and multi-pitch, so bring your rack (nuts and a full set of cams). 

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, Ollie Sherlock,  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 (0409 155 106; or email ollie.sherlock@rbg.vic.gov.au)

You will need to bring all the necessaries for outdoor living for the weekend.

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