While some struggle with abseiling over a cliff, it seems most humans from a young age enjoy looking up and trying to climb!

Our sessions introduce participants to the essential gear and techniques to make you feel comfortable and safe as you undertake climbs of up to 15 metres high.

The skill of belaying to keep the climber safe while he/she ascends is demonstrated by our guides then practiced by all participants while under close supervision.

Natural sites range from the sandstone cliffs of the Watagan Mountains to conglomerate/rhyolite sea cliffs in the Nelson Bay region.
