About You Yangs — Flinders Peak Slabs

The Flinders Peak Slabs are 18–30m granite slabs just below Flinders Peak, the highest point of You Yangs Regional Park between Melbourne and Geelong. Expect friction climbing with sparse protection and runouts. The slabs go into shade around midday. Being high on the hill, they catch the wind and dry fast after rain, but the friction suffers in summer heat. Check site availability and any seasonal closures with the park office, and note the park closes on Catastrophic fire danger days.

Region: Melbourne & Geelong
