Your beginners' abseiling course in Sydney will start on a small boulder and progress through a variety of abseils, where you'll get to practice as many times as you like. As you progress throughout the day-long abseiling course, fun challenges will be put before you. Race your mate down a sheer cliff face or launch yourself and bound to the bottom in as few touches of the wall as you dare!

While it's a fun and adventurous abseiling course, enormous emphasis is placed on abseiling safety. You'll learn the important skills needed to abseil in safety anywhere, including cliff-top safety, care of equipment, safety checks and correct abseiling techniques. The abseiling guides are encouraging and entertaining and are a very useful source of rock sports knowledge around Sydney, Australia and the World.

After lunch the abseiling crew will tackle bigger drops, gradually progressing to abseils of 30 to 40 metres, even up to 60 metres, depending on the abseiling site. The big abseils are for anyone feeling confident enough to accept the challenge. The true adrenalin seeker can try a face-first "rap jump". At the completion of the abseiling course you will have the skills to qualify as a basic abseiler and will be able to tackle more advanced abseils and rap jumps, or to try your hand at multi-pitch abseiling, canyoning or caving.

We had a fantastic day with Marty from the Blue Mountains Adventure Company. The course catered to people of varying abilities. My husband, (pictured on the 16m abseil) overcame his fear of heights. We felt challenged, yet comfortable & totally unpressured with the different challenges. Gorgeous picnic spot to rest for lunch - even freshly chopped & prepared in front of us by our guide! Best views ever, and perfect location. I especially loved the 25m abseil, even had a crack at the 60m (15 stories high)!!! That was a mind blowing experience to end the day. We will definately be back!!!

Booked the abseiling adventure to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary - a totally unusual way to spend the day and we loved every minute of it. Our guide made us feel very safe throughout the day (even on the edge of the cliffs!) and we were very well looked after. Will definitely recommend this trip to other people and look forward to our next Adrenalin Adventure.

Going through Adrenalin, it was quick and easy, finding what you want and paying for it. They put me on to the best company that look after me and show me how to abseiling, it was an awersome day

Great guides and instructors awesome scenery.

Truly a great abseiling experience. We felt secure the entire day, trusting the experience and expertise of our guide, Marty. After building up our skills on smaller drops, we headed for the big one. There was a great mix of trepidation and excitement as we went over the 45 metre drop, followed by the thrill of accomplishment (and relief) when our feet touched the ground at the bottom of the rock face.

More Information

WEATHER: Outdoor programs are weather dependent, it will be up to the trip leaders discretion to decide if the trip will be cancelled. When evaluating weather conditions our client’s safety is of the utmost importance. Remember the weather in the mountains can be very different to that in Sydney. The trip will go ahead unless you are notified.

TRANSPORT: The guides will be using a vehicle to transport equipment to the start of the trip. It may be possible for you to travel in that vehicle, otherwise you are welcome to take your own vehicle. The abseiling site is approximately 15 minutes drive from Katoomba, with the last kilometre on a flat unsealed road suitable for two wheel-drive vehicles. Regular commuter trains run between Sydney and Katoomba - a journey of approximately two hours.
