About Grampians — Mount Rosea

Mount Rosea is one of the highest climbing areas in the Grampians (Gariwerd): big north-east-facing cliffs near the summit with trad and multi-pitch adventure routes of up to about 120m, plus bolted climbing at Rosea Far Right. Park at the Mt Rosea car park and follow the Grampians Peaks Trail towards the summit. Mt Rosea is a designated climbing area within a Remote and Natural Area. The cliffs get the morning sun and lose it after lunch, and at around 850m they are cooler and windier than the valley crags. The area was burnt in the 2024–25 summer fires; the rock was already brittle in places, so test holds, and never climb it wet.
