easter climbing at araps 3-Apr-2004 At 11:30:13 AM Tel

Shen,
in regards to arapiles, this is my first jaunt to the area so I am probably not the best person to provide solid info. From what I have been told it is around 4- 5 hours from melbourne, http://www.chockstone.org/Arapiles/Arapiles.htm, the chockstone guide provides alot of information. As you are able to organise you own transport you will also find a map on that page as well as camping and climbing info....
As far as climbing goes my understanding is that it is not a big sport crag, though that is not to say that there aren't sport climbs there.
Mind if I join this trip? well according to others more well informed than I it seems that there is going to be over 1000 people there over the easter weekend so you could probably join just about any trip you like once you are there. Don't know whether you will get your fix, more likely that you may just only get to wet your appetite..
hope this helps
