Hollow Mountain Area

Australia / Victoria

Maybe the most famous roof in climbing. Countless classic hard boulders span the sprawling Hollow Mountain Cave, the crown jewel being Dai Koyamada's The Wheel of Life (8B+), a monster linkup of the entire cave.

In 2019 access to the crag was banned as part of the wider ban covering many major crags in the Victoria Park area.
