Mt Alexander rises above the otherwise flat
landscape near Harcourt, just 20 mins drive south of Bendigo or a bit over
an hours drive north west of Melbourne. (See: approach
map).
Set amongst the apple growing
orchards, the diminutive mountain offers nice granite boulders some up to
about 30m in size. The climbing is mainly bolted friction slabs, but also
includes many trad layback or jam cracks, chimneys and ar?tes. For a first time visit I suggest you check out Dog Rocks or Wabbit Wocks. There's more than enough routes at both these areas to warrant a day trip each. On subsequent visits you might like to venture into some of the other areas listed, and perhaps check out the new sport routes at Scorpions, or wander on over to Blue Tongue Boulders. Right: Kent on the FFA of a route at Scorpion Rocks. Mt Alexander is my "local" crag, so our little group tends to head out there fairly frequently. Some day I might see you on the rocks. Have fun!
