Week after Cup Day @ Araps/Dyurrite – Nov 2026 (Members only)

Are you climbing at Araps/Dyurrite over the Melbourne Cup Day long weekend and want to hang around for the rest of the week?  Then this trip is for you! 

The trip will be informal. There will be VCC members available to climb with and this event will allow us to catch up and socialise with each other.

Camping

It's up to you book a campsite. We generally camp in The Pines camping area, though book a site wherever is available.

Requirements

This trip is only open to VCC members and intermediate and advanced climbers. Sorry, no novice or guest places are available for this event. Check out the VCC website for other suitable trips. See the Trip Participant Guidelines for more information about these categories.  

All intending participants can expect the trip organiser to ask for details about your climbing experience and gear.
