Weekend Rock Climbing Course from Katoomba

This two-day rock climbing course in the Blue Mountains is aimed at people with little or no outdoor climbing experience. It also suits indoor climbers who want to make the jump to real rock. You’ll spend each day climbing from Katoomba while learning technical rope and rock skills with a professional guide. All technical equipment and National Park fees are included, so it’s a straightforward option if you want proper instruction rather than just a one-off climb.

The course runs over two days in a small group, departing each day from Katoomba. You’ll climb in the Blue Mountains while being taught technical climbing and rope skills as you go, with the focus on building outdoor skills as well as getting time on the rock. A professional guide leads the sessions, and all technical gear is provided. You’ll need at least moderate fitness, and this isn’t recommended for travellers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.
