Hey there, the names Scott. I am from Canada and going to be in the Melbourne region for the first week of January. I am hoping to get out to the famed Arapiles. I climb sport routes in the 17-19 range and havent had the oppurtunity to climb trad. If anyone is headed out and needs a partner or has a free seat let me know.
Cheers.

hey mate,
you'll find Arapiles doens't have any sport climbing in that grade range, if you're looking for sport climbing the grampians is the place (about 80Kms away). If you're specifically after arapiles you can catch a train to horsham and a bus out to Natimuk then hitch hike from there (it's only 8kms from town - assuming you don't get any bites on here or elsewhere for a lift). Once you're there you'll find everyone is super nice and willing to team up with people on their own so just ask around the campground which is at the base of the cliff.
Good luck and enjoy!

Please see this sticky for Information on Arapiles
Also, the bus from Horsham (weekdays only) will drop you at Arapiles on request.
