Mid-Semester Climbing at Dyurrite and Gariwerd

Trad? Sport? Squeeze Test?! We're doing it all this mid-semester break at two of Australia’s best climbing destinations!

We’re heading to Dyurrite (Arapiles) and Gariwerd (Grampians) for a week of incredible climbing. The plan is to set up camp at The Pines campground in Dyurrite, with several day trips to Gariwerd for some sport climbing throughout the week. There may even be a few bouldering pads floating around!

Come and go as it suits you! Whether you're in for the whole week or just a few days, you're welcome to join at any time. There's a Google Sheet to help coordinate carpooling, food, and gear logistics.

You will need all your own camping, cooking, and climbing gear, this can be hired from the MUMC gear stores on the Tuesday before the trip.

To participate, you must be signed off as at least a seconder in the MUMC Climbing Framework (an indoor lead climbing pass is the minimum requirement). If you’re unsure of where you stand in the framework, send your logbook or any questions to the Ropes Officer, Riley, at .

Get psyched - this is going to be an unforgettable trip!

Please fill in this Google Sheet to confirm your spot on the trip and join this Messenger chat to help organise logistics. Attendance at the pre-trip meeting is mandatory, contact the ropes officer if you cannot make it.

ALSO! Goat Fest is happening on Saturday night, the 19th, in Natimuk! This event is a highlight of the Australian climbing calendar, bringing together climbers for an epic night of films, fun, and community. We’ll organise transport, tickets, and logistics for this night soon, so stay tuned. Don’t miss out!
