Rediscover the forgotten gems in Stirling Range National Park.

Once upon a time, The Stirlings was where you would find all local climbers on weekends. An abundance of trad, wilderness and ‘solid’ rock is what you’ll be facing. Come along to visit the forgotten gems such as Nailbight, Ripemoff, Lever’s v.diff and more.

The trip is an opportunity to meet new people, check routes you didn’t know about, spend time with like-minded people, learn new tricks or pass on your knowledge.

We will be spoiled for choice as there is so much climbing on Southern Butters at Mt Trio, which is home to the hardest route (15) at the time (1970), at Toolbrunup, Talyuberlup, Barnett Peak (if you are a solid bushwalker) and of course on Bluff Knoll.

To get more psyched, flick through the old Guide book (1995), where you will probably find the most info, have a look at theCrag,  our miniguides and as well search the forum. Heaps of information can be found there.

We will camp at Mt Trio Bushcamp & Caravan Park, which has all the required facilities and magnificent views. Moreover, it’s close to all crags. Please scroll through their website if you haven’t been there yet. We won’t have a booking but will do our best to secure a spot to camp together. You’ll be required to pay for the camping on arrival. Last time, they accepted credit cards, but don’t count on it and have cash ready.

All participants must be ‘self-sufficient’, able to trad lead and belay and be completely responsible for themselves. Following our Public Liability insurance requirements, everyone must sign a Deed of Release and Indemnity and fill in a trip registration form.

Any inexperienced climbers must nominate an experienced climber who will climb with them during the trip. A parent, guardian, or other responsible person must accompany all climbing participants under 18. If you are a beginner, it might pay to read CAWA Trips for some further information or e-mail me.

Please note that CAWA trips are a benefit for members. Non-members interested in coming with you will need to join online and follow up on the registration for the trip beforehand.
