In the exhibition The Secret Life of Climbers, photographer Olivia Page showcases a range of artworks to celebrate rockclimbing.
Ms Page said the impromptu exhibition explored the "perplexing, enigmatic, unexplainable, radical lives led by climbers, and the wilderness their longings take them to".
"The 'secrecy' may be thanks to their tradition of escaping 'real life' to head into the wilds, finding their own versions of reality," she said.
The exhibition will raise money for the ACT Arapiles Community Theatre and ACAV Australian Climbing Association Victoria.

"Natimuk is facing future without climbing, something that will deeply affect the towns economy and demographic," she said.
"The funds will help assist the climbing community, local business and relationships between all people connected to the area during a time when changes to climbing access in the region is impacting many."
The gallery will be open on July 7, 13 and 14.
