Hey, I was told to look around on here, I'm a Climber from Vancouver and will be heading down by myself mid june through till mid july. I would love to find some local climbers to head out with and either boulder (which I mainly do) or sport climb. I intend to start my trip in Melbourne and head north from there. I am looking for any suggestions on gear to bring or places to climb as well!

cheers,
Alex

Welcome!

If you're into bouldering or sport and based in Melbourne, the Grampians will be your best bet. If you hang around some climbing gyms in Melbourne or ask around on here you might find some people keen to head out then. The catch is you're over here in mid winter so interest/weather may limit your options.

Another option if you're heading to NSW are the blue mountains as there are plenty of sport options available (someone else may be able to give you more info on this).
