There are a number of smaller and less frequented climbing areas spread throughout other regions of Victoria. CSV acknowledges the Traditional Owners of these regions and their ongoing connections with them. Although CSV is not currently active in these areas, we welcome any input or enquiry from Traditional Owners or climbers on climbing in their region.
