Burnley Bouldering Walls

**Intro** The info below comes from the sign near wall 1 and the document at http://www.vicclimb.org.au/includes/file.php?id=78 for more info. (Reproduced here with permission). **Etiquette** Give way to climbers already on the wall. If someone is climbing be sure to wait until they've passed the section of wall you wish to use before you start to climb. Do not climb with bare feet. **Safe climbers are happy climbers** - Be aware of other climbers around you and keep clear when not climbing - Do not climb the walls on your own at night - Do not climb onto the top of the walls - Park your bike well away from the climbing mats - Always use a spotter **Working together** *The beginning of the bouldering walls* The Burnley Bouldering Walls are the results of partnerships, community commitment and a desire to turn what was otherwise an unused site into something more. Over 130 volunteers from the climbing community worked together with CityLink, Parks Victoria and the Victorian Climbing Club, supported by the donation of goods and services from several local businesses. The walls were constructed over a four month period thanks to the tireless efforts of the volunteers and supporting organisations. If you have any suggestions or would like to report a damaged, missing or spinning hold, please use the chalk board or email burnleybouldering@vicclimb.org.au. **Looking after the reserve** The Burnley Bouldering Walls and surrounding McConchie Reserve are here for your enjoyment.
