OUTDOOR CLIMBING
We have a range of outdoor climbing options to suit your experience level.
Kangaroo Point Climbing

Kangaroo Point is a popular local cliff that has a range of routes, starting with very easy climbs, all the way through to expert routes. It’s a fantastic way to start climbing outside, and only minutes from the CBD. We will set up a number of ropes, so that you can challenge yourself and have a great time in the process.

Mt Ngungun Day Trip

Part of the Glasshouse Mountains Range, Mt Ngungun is located on the Sunshine Coast around 45 minutes drive from Brisbane. There are a number of beginner friendly cliffs located around Mt Ngungun. A trip to Ngungun provides a more secluded climbing experience. Our guides will set up a range of climbs for you to try and, if you have energy after you’re finished climbing, a hike to the summit is well worth the effort!
