Commonly asked questions.

None at all. You start on a 5 metre cliff where your instructor teaches the technique, then build up to 15 metre cliffs and a 30 metre overhanging drop.

Be at the High and Wild office inside the Blue Mountains YHA, 207 Katoomba Street, Katoomba, for an 8:30am start. The session wraps up around midday, and free all day parking is next to the building.

Yes. The train from Sydney Central to Katoomba takes about two hours, and the office is a five minute walk from the station, so check the early morning timetable to arrive before 8:30am.

The minimum age is 10, and anyone under 18 needs a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. For younger kids, contact High and Wild to talk through options.

Abseiling still runs in light rain, and the call is made on the morning of the trip. If High and Wild cancels for bad weather or bushfire, you can choose a full refund or a free reschedule, and our guide to the best time to visit the Blue Mountains explains what each season brings.

Cancelling or changing your date with less than 48 hours notice incurs the full fee, or 14 days for groups of 3 or more and private bookings. Earlier cancellations incur a $45 per person admin fee.

Dress for the weather, wear running or hiking shoes, and bring a litre of water and a camera. Food isn't included on the half day session, so grab breakfast in Katoomba before you meet.

Yes. The full day rock climbing adventure runs from 9am to 4pm with lunch included, and suits anyone keen to swap the rope descent for climbing up.
With your afternoon free, the lookouts around Katoomba are close by, or save a day for the Blue Mountains wildlife and Scenic World tour to see the Three Sisters and meet some local wildlife.

More about this tour.

Three and a half hours, three cliffs and one very big finish. This morning session in the Blue Mountains National Park is built for people who have never clipped into a rope, and it moves at a pace where nervous first timers and keen thrill seekers both walk away grinning.Your instructor starts you on a small 5 metre wall so you can feel how the rope runs through your hands. Once that clicks, you step up to the 15 metre cliffs and get a couple of goes to find your rhythm. Then comes the 30 metre overhang, where the sandstone tucks away beneath your boots and you lower yourself through open air above the bush. Groups top out at 14, so an instructor is always close by.You meet the High and Wild team at 8:30am at their office inside the Blue Mountains YHA on Katoomba Street and wrap up around midday, leaving the afternoon for a lookout or a long lunch in Katoomba. Hooked after one morning? The full day abseiling and rock climbing combo adds climbing to the mix, and in summer the Empress Canyon abseiling and canyoning adventure takes the ropes down a waterfall. Explore the session details, then check availability for your morning.
