After the success of rockclimbing in the Grampians National Park in 2018, when the Scouts Rockclimbing Team offered an opportunity to climb at Mt Arapiles the youth said, "Yes please," and they were not disappointed. For two days they enjoyed challenging themselves on the rock walls around Mt Arapiles, while on occasions enjoying the views.
The first day was spent at Bushrangers Bluff, where the 1st Ballan youth teamed up with other Scouts from all over Victoria to climb a variety of routes throughout the day. It was great to see everyone support and encourage each other as individuals overcame perceptions to conquer their fears and achieve their goal of climbing.
Day two saw the 1st Ballan youth climbing on their own as they explored and discovered routes at Mitre Rock. Building on their experience from the previous day, many of the Scouts were able to further extend their comfort zone by climbing higher grade routes. A wonderful weekend had by all in fantastic climbing conditions.
