Mount Arapiles, Rock climbing summit in Tooan State Park, Australia.
Mount Arapiles is a 140 meter summit in western Victoria's Wimmera plains, with steep cliffs and multiple rock formations covering its surface. The mountain rises sharply from the surrounding flatlands and consists of quartzite that forms jagged outcrops across the hillside.
Major Thomas Mitchell made the first European ascent in 1836, naming the mountain after similar hills in Spain. This climb marked the beginning of European exploration and mapping of the region.
The Wotjobaluk people named this place Dyurrit, and its hard sandstone has been used for tool-making across generations. The mountain served as an important source for materials that shaped local indigenous life.
Centenary Park at the base offers camping, fireplaces, and picnic tables as a starting point for activities. The location is easy to reach and equipped with basic amenities for visitors.
The mountain holds more than 2,000 established climbing routes at various difficulty levels. This makes it a recognized destination for climbers seeking different technical challenges.
