The historic Kangaroo Point Cliffs are a true Brisbane icon, a majestic span of volcanic rock hugging the banks of the river. Perhaps you’ve seen them hundreds of times, always wondering what it would be like to scale those sheer faces. What will you find, clinging to the wall some 20m above the ground with the beautiful city skyline spread behind you?

It’s time to find out. Pinnacle Sports runs awesome, challenging, exhilarating rock climbing adventures at this unique urban climbing venue. Our 3-hour sessions are perfect for beginners and intermediate climbers, as well as groups, social clubs, parties, school outings and corporate events. With hundreds of routes available, ranging in difficulty from beginner to elite, there is literally something for everyone.

Meet your Pinnacle guide at the base of the cliff where you’ll run through some basic skills – tying in, belaying technique, climbing movement. From there, you’ll be heading straight up the cliff and finding out why so many folks are getting hooked on the sport! If 3 hours just isn’t enough, take a look at our Outdoor Climbing Technique Program to take your skills to the next level.

For millennia, the iconic shapes of the Glasshouse Mountains have captured imaginations. If you’ve always found yourself drawn to these dramatic peaks, an abseiling adventure is the perfect way to experience this incredible part of Queensland.

Located 60 minutes north of Brisbane, Mt Ngungun is a deservedly popular outdoor adventure destination. Here, you’ll meet your Pinnacle Guide in the morning for a quick lesson in abseil skills before heading up the trail. Warm up with a short, atmospheric abseil amongst the ferns before climbing to the summit ridge at 253m above sea level. Spectacular 360-degree vistas await, a stunning backdrop for your 40m descent from the rocky escarpment to the eucalypts below. What a rush!

This is a unique adventure in a unique location, one we think you’ll find quite hard to forget!

SESSION TIME AND LOCATION

The activity runs for approximately 6 hours from 7:30am to 2:00pm (with some wiggle room for hiking thrown in). Check your booking confirmation for times. We’ll meet at the Mt Ngungun carpark, just past Glasshouse Mountains township, at 7:20am.

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 such as hiking boots or runners with grip, 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

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