ABSEILING  AND ROCK  CLIMBING

`That first step back was the hardest.  Once I’d taken
 those baby steps, I could sit back in my harness and
soak in the spectacular scenery.’  Chris Turner

Strap yourself in and take that leap. You can choose from beginners to advanced trips of ½,1 or 2 days. You can just abseil, or combine it with rock climbing. 

We use a variety of locations including:
  • You Yangs
  • Situated only 62km from Melbourne CBD, the You Yangs offer a very basic introduction to abseiling.  The largest descent is 20m.  It is a lovely site with BBQ facilities and many walking tracks. Choose from a half day or full day.  We can provide a BBQ or gourmet lunch.
  • Werribee Gorge
  • Situated only 80km from Melbourne CBD, Werribee Gorge offers both beginners and advanced abseiling. The largest descent is 55m.  There is a 30-minute walk in to the site. Full day only. Includes a gourmet lunch.
  • The Grampians

  •  Mount Arapiles
  • Situated about 4 hours from Melbourne, Mt Arapiles has long been regarded as the world’s best climbing and abseiling area.  It is a haven for climbers and abseilers from all over the world.  Descents average around 55m.

`My first climb was physically and emotionally challenging.
When I reached the top, I thought I could conquer the world!’
