The Blue Mountains delivers Australia’s best sandstone sport climbing with a few classy trad climbing cliffs. Expect clean walls, sweeping aretes and big exposure across a range of grades that offer pumpy test-pieces to friendly multipitches.
You can drop in at any point during this trip, whether it’s the Melbourne Cup long weekend or for the entire duration. The trip will generally follow a pattern of two days on and a day to rest, however this will be weather dependent and dependent on your personal fatigue and duration of stay.
