Don't come to Melbourne expecting much easy sport climbing. There's very little sports climbing under about F6B+ in Victoria at all. There's plenty of bouldering in the Grampians though, as well as a few problems scattered around the local crags.
I'd definitely bring a small trad rack. Even just a half-dozen slings and a set of nuts, with doubles in the small-medium sizes, will allow you to get up a lot of the easier climbs at Araps.
Check out the "guide" section on this site, as well as taking a look at thecrag.com. Should give you a basic idea of what's around near Melbourne. |
