Bike trip to Mt Arapiles (world famous) Australia

Post by Arbee »

Trip to Mt Arapiles the World Famous Rockclimbing Area
to visit a friend...

In 1980 a rockclimbing buddy of mine fell and died on a rockclimb he was aged 20,
Little Thor on Declaration Crag Grade 21, we revisited the spot after the 25 year anniversary,
after putting a memorial plaque up in his memory, not sure whether the State Park
management would now welcome a memorial plaque these days...
but it has remained there for 25 years so far...

Arriving at Declaration Crag...

Another Summit of Mt Arapiles, climbers work very hard to get this view
with some climbs being 3 or 4, 50 metre pitches
