Rock Climbing at Hollow Mountain | Northern Grampians

Hollow Mountain is a mecca for rock climbers, and climbing to the summit offers a thrilling adventure.

The pictures of Hollow Mountain that you see online truly don’t do it justice, and I firmly believe it’s a place you can’t miss when visiting the Grampians.

The sandstone cliffs showcase a vivid spectrum of colors, ranging from bright reds to yellows, greys, and whites, often forming unique stripes.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THIS TRAIL
-------------------------------------------------------

Expect lots of rock scrambling and navigating through narrow caves, making it a basic introduction to rock climbing. However, there’s nothing overly technical or steep to tackle along the way.

While you’re in the area, don’t forget to take a walk to Gulgurn Manja, which translates to “hands of young people.”

At the shelter, you’ll witness ochre-stained handprints believed to be from many generations of young people, likely aged between 8 to 12 years old.
