This can be the best adventure time of your life. Overcoming the natural instinct of self preservation to lower yourself over a vertical edge with full control and the guide close at hand to support and encourage. Teaching all the safety checks and body position needed to safely travel over the edge and down the rock face under your own control. We employ back-up systems to ensure your safety at all times.
Experience fast or slow descents on flat rock walls or the free hanging experience of a large overhang, whilst looking out over spectacular scenery in the natural Australian bush.
Your experience commences with a safety briefing, fitting equipment and moving to the site. For beginners the first descents are over sloping rock up to 4 meters. You will quickly progress up to 20 meters then challenge yourself on descents up to 55 meters.
For the adrenalin junkie, the forward facing experience is one to enjoy completing a great day out.
