On both points I'd suggest you spend more time in the Grampians. actual temps in the central and southern Grampians are usually 2-5 degrees cooler than araps due to being further south and closer to the ocean. plus the crags are mostly at higher elevation (= cooler) and high on hills (= breeze = cooler again) so the "climbing comfort" is heaps better if it's warm (even on 30C days you might need a good jacket at the Tower!). And Arapiles is great, but it doesn't have routes of the same style as Grampians crags like Rosea (now there's a crag to do hundreds of metres of 3 star climbing each day), Bundaleer, stapylton, etc, so you'll be seriously missing out if you neglect them. At your grades I'd allocate a third of your time to the Grampians - a grade or two higher and I'd suggest 50%. |
