Expect stellar shale faces, dramatic ridgelines, and unforgettable views-plus plenty of downtime to relax and enjoy the scenery. As always, this is a self-sufficient trip, so come prepared with your own climbing gear, camping supplies, and food. Carpooling can be arranged among participants.
Stirling Range NP offers heaps of trad routes of various grades and some sport routes, generally starting in the low 20s with a few 19s available. Please be aware of your skills before you sign up and check in with the trip organiser if you are not sure. This trip is not beginner-friendly; you need to know your stuff.
We will be spoiled for choice as there is so much climbing on Southern Buttress at Mt Trio at Toolbrunup, Talyuberlup, Barnett Peak (if you are a solid bushwalker) and of course on Bluff Knoll which will be our main objective for the trip.

Come along for three days of adventure, climbing, and camaraderie in one of WA’s most spectacular climbing destinations!
? Getting There: Stirling Range National Park is about a 4.5-hour drive from Perth. We encourage carpooling-let us know if you need a ride or can offer one.
⚠️ Important: This is not a guided event. Participants are responsible for their own safety, gear, and skills. CAWA does not provide instruction or supervision.

We will camp at Mt Trio Bushcamp & Caravan Park, which has all the required facilities and magnificent views. Moreover, it’s close to all crags. Please scroll through their website if you haven’t been there yet. We won’t have a booking but will do our best to secure a spot to camp together. You’ll be required to pay for the camping on arrival. Last time, they accepted credit cards, but we suggest having cash ready just in case. The current price is $23 per adult per night.
