]]>New Blue Lake Guidehttp://www.canberraclimbing.org.au/events--news/news/new-blue-lake-guide.aspxSun, 20 Jul 2008 11:32:32 GMThttp://www.canberraclimbing.org.au/events--news/news/new-blue-lake-guide.aspxBrian Mattick and Keith Bell are compiling a new climbing guide to Blue Lake with the support of the CCA. Blue Lake is a traditional climbing (no bolts) area situated on the Main Range of Kosciuszko National Park. Canberra and Sydney climbers have had a long association with the area dating back to the early 1960s.

 

 

Blue Lake

 

 

Blue Lake offers some of the best traditional granite climbing to be found in the Canberra and South East NSW Region. An abundance of cracklines and fissures provide plenty of natural protection opportunities in an alpine setting.

Blue Lake is also one of the few areas in Australia where you can do snow and ice climbing in the winter. Numerous snow and ice variations can be found in the gullys and on the ice flows during the winter months.
