About You Yangs — Gravel Pit Tor

Gravel Pit Tor is a designated rock-climbing site in You Yangs Regional Park that Parks Victoria describes as having some of the best and steepest climbs in the park. The granite dries quickly in sun and wind, but friction falls away on hot days. Check site availability with the park office before you go, and remember the park closes on Catastrophic fire danger days.
