5This is truly a gorgeous place to climb! The routes are really interesting, while being well suited for beginners as well.

0We had the best day ever with Peter in Barron Gorge. My kids (11 and 9) have climbed a lot at many indoor rock climbing gyms, but not very much outdoors. Peter made sure they felt comfortable, guaranteed their safety, then very subtly introduced them to new concepts about climbing outdoors -- how to trust your climbing shoes, how to look for a line, etc. The Barron Gorge area is super convenient, and has something for everybody -- but the icing on the cake is the CAVE! It's not really a cave, but rather a split in a huge, mega rock -- perhaps 60 or 80 feet deep. It's dark within, but there is some sunlight from the top that enables you to see, once your eyes adjust. I've been around climbing for nearly 30 years, and I've never heard of something like this being so accessible to non-climbers. Thanks for being such a generous host, Peter!

5My brother and I had the best morning climbing, abseiling and caving with Pete! He had so much knowledge of the local area and made the whole experience very worth while.

5I can't recommend this enough. I was lucky enough to be all alone with Pete for the morning. Interesting routes from more casual to challenging in a beautiful location. Safety is well looked after, and I felt I was in good hands. This should be more heavily marketed than it is since it offers a truly amazing experience to travelers.
