We aim to challenge you and your nerve in a safe environment, and to leave you with unforgettable memories. This is a great opportunity to climb and learn from experienced and professional multi-pitch guides, giving you a taste for adventure and a great day out!

Your qualified guide will brief you on the day's activities and the days' climb ie Ruby of India and train you on all safety matters prior to leaving the ground. This includes lead belaying, seconding leads, taking out gear and more.

After arriving, we head up the mountain. The one hour walk in to the climbing starting point is strenuous and not for the feint hearted! At the top of the climb there will be plenty of time to take in the amazing views and get a few pics.


The descent takes approximately 30 minutes to walk back to the packs at the bottom of the climb. The rest of the walk out will take approximately 45 minutes to the car (all down hill).

OUR GUIDES

Our awesome guides are highly trained, fully accredited, and heaps of fun! They’ll teach you everything you need to know, as well as take care of the safety procedures and provide all the gear, including harness, helmet, climbing shoes, and all other technical equipment.


WHAT TO BRING

Although your guide will provide all the safety gear, you’ll still need to bring a few bits and pieces, including:

  • Non-restrictive clothing. Check the weather forecast to get an idea of the conditions, but remember that the summit is exposed and weather can change quickly, so a light jacket or wind jacket can be handy

  • Enclosed footwear with grip such as hiking boots or runners, sturdy enough to handle a rough trail

  • A backpack big enough to carry all your gear plus some of the required safety equipment (e.g. ropes)

  • 2-3 litres of water, hat, insect repellent, sunscreen, sunglasses

  • If you have some climbing gear, bring it along so your guide can check it out and let you know if it’s good to go

  • Your own food and snacks, full of energy to keep you happy and psyched!


FITNESS REQUIREMENTS

You’ll need a good level of fitness for this activity. To access the climbing areas, a hike of about 1 hour is required, often along steep and uneven trails. You’ll also require some prior climbing experience, whether in the gym or outdoors. Any Mount Maroon climb involves a long day on the wall with a decent amount of mileage.
