Moorooduc Quarry |

I know that it has been closed to climbing for quite a few years now but I believe that there were a few climbers, way back when, who climbed routes at Moorooduc Quarry on the Mornington Peninsula. Have had a look recently and it looks like there could be some good lines, however in places the rock is a very chossy.
I was just wondering if anyone has climbed there or has any details of routes there. I am not intending to defy the current climbing ban but was wondering if it was worth putting a case forward to the land managers to re-open the area to climbers. This is pretty much the only crag within 2 hours of Frankston and it is a nice setting with the rock faces surrounding a lake on 3 sides. If there are any decent routes there it seems like a shame not to have access to them. The land managers have sited vegetation destruction as the reason for the climbing ban (or so the signs say) but I suspect it may have more to do with a liability issue. I remember that there was a fall where someone had to be air lifted out not long before public access was closed.
I know that there are some brief references to the quarry on Chockstone forums but not much information.
Any info would be appreciated. |
