About Grampians — Grey and Green Walls

Grey and Green Walls sit beside Taipan Wall on Mt Stapylton (Gunigalg) in the northern Grampians (Gariwerd): a smooth grey buttress, a mossier slab to its right (the Green Wall) and a shorter wall along the foot. Central Buttress, also a designated climbing area, is the access route. The walls face roughly west, so they're shaded in the morning and catch the afternoon sun. The mossy slab holds moisture longer than the steep orange rock next door, and Grampians sandstone is brittle when wet, so let it dry fully after rain.
