| This small forest reserve is located about 90 km north west of Melbourne.
To get there, use the Calder Highway in the direction of Bendigo. When the road turns into
a freeway again around Kyneton, use the next intersection and turn north on the Edgecombe
- Eppalock road. After about 4 km turn right into Hallorans Lane and follow it to the
T-intersection. Turn left into Black Hill Road and drive to the end of the road. Park
there, and walk into the park on the gravel/dirt road that cross the reserve.
The climbing routes are spread out on a number of huge blocks and monoliths. The routes
are in the range from 5.5/5.6 to 5.12a/b. Most of the around 60 routes are bolted, but
ring bolt plates for these hangerless bolts. Black Hill offers a lot of friction climbing
with some good edges but only a few cracks. It is only one-rope length climbs here, but
some of them are longer then 30m. |
