Oz rock

Year: 1997 Format: 15x21 Pages: 176 Photos: b/w Australia can offer the climber excellent rock in the midst of an extraordinary natural setting. The red sandstone of the Arapiles Plains, the granite walls of Mount Buffalo, the cliffs and valleys of the Blue Mountains, the astonishing geological formations of the Flinders Ranges, the arid deserts of the Red Centre, cliffs, gorges, crags... a list is endless. The intent of the guide is to highlight the main (and some lesser known) areas, to give an overview of climbing in Australia, what type of climbing you can expect, the quality of the rock, the type of protection desired, the length of the climbs and an overall evaluation by the author.
