Crag X/Shire bouldering (Grampians) 20-Aug-2012 At 3:58:22 PM Dave.k

My brother Mike and I have met the young farmer Matt who recently bought the grazing land that runs between Red Rock Rd and the Western slopes of the Victoria Range (i.e. the access to Crag X with the big cut down tree: image from Nalle who went looking for any projects there last trip: http://instagram.com/p/LKxWzdyEsW/ ).

Matt is a nice bloke and has lived around there all his life. Anyway, he does not have public liability insurance for that land and he requested that access to Crag X is made via the southern boundary of his property. This is done by walking along the last dirt rd that turns right off red rocks rd before the paddock if you are driving north from Billywig track. Head up the rough track for a few hundred metres and then skirt along the bush high up on the hill tracking under eagle rock.

I know it's a pain and it takes longer, and I know that the previous owner of the land allowed climbers access, but at the moment we have to respect that it's private property.

So to be clear: until further notice, please do not cross the paddock to get to Crag X and surrounds.

With respect to the "recent traffic" on the track - it's not traffic, it was trackwork by my brother and I over the last couple of years.
