Plenty Gorge will be known by some of those that have been climbing a while... For those climbing for less years or kept away by the gun toting owner of the land, it is a 8 m high basalt quarry with 18 established routes and is a great little spot reasonably close to Melbourne.
The good news is the Plenty Gorge Master Plan lists land acquisition as an aim for that parcel of land currently privately owned, acknowledges climbing as a potential use of the site and is open for comments. Would be great to get climbers and MTBers to fill in the survey supporting establishing MTB trails through the park and that climbing be allowed again in the quarry.
