Bouldering around Euroa 15-Oct-2003 At 6:44:47 PM Robin

There is definitely some good bouldering at Tenneriffe. Darryl McConnell and John Laing documented (I think I've got it somewhere) some problems around the base of the Sparrow Slabs. A found some good problems dotted along the km's of cliffline, including some classic crack boulders.

The owner of the private property at the saddle has requested that no one boulders/climbs on his property due to his insurer saying he wont be covered for climbers, walkers, shooters etc with or without permission. We still have an informal access agreement where we can walk through the property to the climbs at the far end (see Eastern Vic guide for access details)

I looked for the bouldering area that Tempest et. al. described in the previous guide. I didn't find anything that looked like a classic bouldering area but there were plenty of small boulders in open forest around where he described. I think doing and documenting boulder problems at Tenneriffe, Big Hill etc will be the next major climbing development for the area.
