Climbing in Grampians

The catalog entry for “Grampians” sits between two place realities: the verified facts note the Grampian Mountains as one of Scotland’s major ranges, while the film here—The BEST Climbing in Australia | ft. Jorg Verhoeven and Katha Saurwein—samples the Australian Grampians (Victoria) alongside Tasmania. The verified extract about the Scottish Grampians reminds viewers that the name denotes a broad mountain system with deep relief, but the film itself is framed as a short travel sampler of southern‑hemisphere climbing.

In the nine‑minute film Jorg Verhoeven and Katha Saurwein move quickly between bouldering, sport and traditional lines to show how climbers adapt their approach to different rock and access constraints. Rather than documenting a single project, the edit alternates climbing clips, travel footage and voiceover to give a compact sense of on‑rock movement and the logistics of short trips: how climbers choose a problem or route, how they switch between boulder technique and rope management, and how local terrain shapes those choices. For viewers, the piece is useful as a concise primer on mixed‑discipline climbing in two distinct regions that share a place name but offer different rock, approaches and rhythms.
