Arapelis or Grampians in Winter? 25-Apr-2017 At 8:56:39 AM Drake

There will be fewer opportunities to find climbing partners in winter, as there are fewer travelling climbers. But many of us still climb extensively in winter. I prefer winter to summer climbing, actually.

Araps can great on sunny winters days, or it can be unpleasantly cold and wet. It depends on the weather.

Climbing in the Blue Mountains is a bit more predictably good in winter, although windy days can make it unpleasantly cold for climbing. Nowra isn't far away from Sydney and also tends to be good in winter. Both have extensive sport options.

Frog Buttress in southern Queensland would also be a great pick for winter, although that doesn't sound like your type of climbing (hardish trad, mostly cracks).
