The experience
You meet your instructors at the base of Kangaroo Point Cliffs and get fitted with your harness, helmet and climbing equipment. A safety briefing covers how the rope system works, how to find handholds and footholds on the rock, and how to communicate with your belayer: the person managing the rope from the ground. Once you're ready, you approach the natural rock face and start climbing, choosing your own path upwards and working at your own pace. Your instructors offer tips and encouragement as you climb.
As you gain height, the Brisbane River and city skyline come into view. The rock itself dictates the challenge: you find your next hold, place your feet, and work higher with each attempt. When you're ready to descend, you lean back into your harness and your belayer lowers you safely to the ground. The whole session runs about two hours, though the climbing itself is paced by how you want to push yourself.
Children aged 8 to 12 need an adult present to belay for them at no extra cost. That adult doesn't have to climb. Kids aged 8 to 16 must be supervised by an adult. Complimentary showers and sunscreen are available after you finish, and lockers can be hired for a small fee if you need somewhere to store your things. Wear comfortable clothes and enclosed shoes, and bring a water bottle: drinks are also available for purchase.
Is this one for you?The guide speaks English and leads the whole group through the same safety briefing and climbing session, so everyone follows along together. This works well for families with kids aged 8 and up, since children can climb with an adult belaying, or an adult can supervise from the ground while staying present the whole time.
