We have been avid rock climbers, both indoor and out for about six years. Our hobby began in a rock climbing gym on the Gold Coast where we fumbled our way through ropes and carabiners to eventually emerge as competent climbers. We mainly climb for fun but have competed in several competitions as well.

Our favourite outdoor climbing places are Mt Arapiles in Victoria, Frog Buttress and Kangaroo Point in Queensland and Rai Lay, Thailand.

Aside from the obvious difference between indoor and outdoor, there are several different categories of climbing.

  • TOP ROPING
  • LEAD CLIMBING
  • SECONDING
  • SOLO CLIMBING
  • FREE CLIMBING
  • AID CLIMBING
  • BOULDERING
  • MOUNTAINEERING
