1What an excellent guide Peter is! Took my daughter for her first climb and he had her (and me) feeling comfortable and confident in no time. Very friendly and professional. Great location, lots of variety. Highly recommend!!

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.

5Had a fantastic time with Pete last Sunday - loved the challenge, adrenaline and the beautiful backdrop to Split Rock. Would definitely recommend to both beginners and the more experienced. Well worth the money! :-)

5I booked with Pete from the UK Never done this before and was surprised at the good advice and calm approach for beginner's. thoroughly enjoyed the day with my son on the ropes, Toproping, chimneying and a bit of abseiling. Well worth the money and a great part of my holiday to Aus. Derek & Edward

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.

5Fantastic morning,physically and mentally challenging, rewarding and loads of fun!
Gavin
5Excellent morning at split rock. Pete has a very good knowledge of climbing and supported us individually and challenged us to each of our abilities. Awesome will defiantly do again.
