Tips for first bouldering trip to Grampians? 18-Jan-2012 At 10:58:41 PM tomordish

Hi Guys,

Know this is kinda lame but hoping for some tips on an upcoming bouldering visit to Grampians.

Just arrived from the UK and need to hang off some rock. I'm pretty crap, probs only V3-4 max after a fair few months off. I've bought the guide and blagged a car, got my stickies and a chalk bag and hoping to survive without a mat! (Anyone any tips on getting a cheap boulder mat in Oz, had a well loved DMM highball but sold to get funds for travels!)

Know it's gonna be warm but can I ask ....

Are you allowed/can you get away with wild camping like at Fontainebleau?

If not any suggestions on where the cheapest alternative is?

After major 'fellow traveller' drop-outs looks like I'm probs on my own, where am I likely to meet some climbers there?

Cheers for any help/tips/abuse you can offer!

Tom
