i've generally found even at xmas/ny it's only madness in Halls Gap and the main NP campgrounds. Stony creek road was dead quiet then last year whilst halls gap was unbearable and the big campgrounds chockers.
If you have never climbed outdoors, book a guide for a day or 2. Then maybe try the easy sport crags on your own next if you have been comfy leading 18-20 in the gym - tribute, ravine sort of thing or put your guide's instruction to use setting up top ropes at Summerday. To start on trad, go to araps and get another guide. |
