Australian School of MountaineeringGuided Rock Climbs
To do an inspiring climb with a great companion who is also a professional guide and instructor is one of the finest climbing experiences available. It is also an excellent way to improve your skills and polish your technique. Our instructors are available to take individuals and small groups on any one of hundreds of climbs to be found in the Blue Mountains.
The ASM Instructors have their own favourite rock routes and depending on your level of experience they will be able to suggest climbs best suited to your ability and tastes. Alternatively you may have a special climb in mind and one of our instructors would be more than happy to accompany you on it. We are available for guided climbs at short notice on any day of the year.
Sweet Dreams
A classic Blue Mountain’s guided climbing experience!
Sweet Dreams follows an awe inspiring six pitch, two hundred metre line on an airy section of cliff that has a real “Big Wall” feel about it. On the climb you are surrounded by breathtaking views of the beautiful Jamison Valley and the East Wall of the world famous Three Sisters. The spectacular setting makes this one of the most photogenic, guided climbs in the Blue Mountains. Sweet Dreams is suitable for climbers of intermediate standard and above (Aus Grade 14 - US 5.6). If you’re-visiting the Blue Mountains and want to take in some awesome rock and great scenery, then this one day guided climb is a must!
Blue Mountains Classic Climbs
This is a great day of quality guided climbing at some of the finest rockclimbing areas the Blue Mountains has to offer.
During this highly mobile day participants will visit a couple of areas and take in a large selection of Blue Mountains classic climbs. Your instructor will select climbs best suited to your ability and whilst guiding you on them he will also offer instruction where required. What a great way to spend a weekend! Basic Rockclimbing experience or better is required for this activity. See our Introductory Course.
The Boar’s Head
The Boar’s Head is one of the most instantly recognisable rock formations in the Blue Mountains.
This towering solitary rock pinnacle offers a unique and impressive combined abseiling and rock climbing adventure that can be found no where else! Five pitches of spectacular abseiling starting with a descent through the famous Boar’s Head “slot” and then down on through the “bottleneck” with some exciting free-falls along the way!
We pause for lunch on a ledge, which offers one of the most magnificent views to be found in the Blue Mountains. After the midday break we will commence the climb out to the Boar’s Head Summit. Two airy pitches of the most enjoyable Blue Mountains rockclimbing you will ever experience sees us conclude this unforgettable mountain adventure. The climbing and abseiling encountered on the Boar’s Head route is easy but exciting. You will need to be able to climb around grade twelve on rock and should have basic abseiling experience to be able to participate in this activity.
Granite Slabs
For climbers used to a steady diet of Blue Mountains sandstone a day of granite slab climbing is something refreshingly different!
Only a short drive from our Katoomba base we find hillsides dotted with excellent quality granite slab climbing. For those unfamiliar with granite climbing techniques your instructor will select routes appropriate to your ability and then proceed to instruct you in the finer points of climbing sloping granite! You can expect to squeeze in lots of granite routes during the day and when it’s all over you’ll go home feeling totally satisfied having enjoyed a climbing adventure with a difference!
