I'm interested in exploring climbs at Wilson's Prom and looking for other interested climbers or anyone who has much beta on the area and Mt Bishop. Could be a fun adventure of new routes, camping , surfing and bouldering by the beach.

We were also thinking of getting away to Wilsons Prom, for said activities. Would be keen for any info you've recieved/found on the climbing there.

The bouldering on the beach was great fun...squeaky beach i think it was called...on the far end of the beach there is a cluster of granite? boulders.

Some better than average problems in an amazing setting. No need for a pad, soft sandy landings. Go for a boulder, and then for a swim!

Mt Bishop is great...headed up there two months ago. You must do Catchalot, the awesome chiminy/flake at the very top....

If you want to try the slabs, you need to head over the the far right side of the slabs when looking down towards the water. The abseil point is not far down from the bushes. We had a lot of trouble finding them and ended walking all the way to the base of the slab and bushbashed all the way up one side (hours of fun). Watch the slabs though...way run out....the one route we did had a bolt at 8 metres and nothing else for the next 30 or so......

The VCC Eastern Victoria guide lists all the legal (and illegal!) routes at Wilsons Proms. It has excellent
diagrams, maps and descriptions.
