New Arapiles plan means 98 per cent of climbs will stay open

A new government management plan for the Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park in Australia will keep 98 per cent of climbing areas open to the public. Under the updated proposal, access will be permitted to all but three of the more than 150 designated climbing locations within the park.

The decision has been met with elation from the climbing community, ensuring the preservation of the vast majority of recreational climbing opportunities at the prominent destination.
