How fit/strong do I need to be to participate?
There is no strength requirement to take part in either abseil or climbing activities. For abseil you ended to be able to walk back up to the top of the cliff. For rock climbing outdoor climbs have different levels of difficulty and we set up on a selection of climbs with different levels. There is always more than one way to complete a climb!
At Kangaroo Point, an average level of fitness is required as there’s no hike to get to the cliff.
In the Glass House, we recommend a moderate level of fitness as the hike to the summit can be strenuous and you will be carrying a backpack with some gear.
What is belaying?
Climbing is a partner sport - one person climbs whilst the other belays. Belaying is when you are in control of the other end of the rope. You have a device which allows you to remove ‘slack’ from the rope, keeping the climber nice and tight so that they don't fall if they let go. Belaying is a simple process. All our climbing activities begin with a safety and belay induction.
What happens in inclement weather?
Adverse weather such as heavy rain is cause for us to reschedule activities in order to ensure the best experience possible. It can be hard or impossible to climb in the rain. However, this is up to the discretion of the guide taking the activity, so some activities may run if only light rain is predicted. If you do not hear from us, the activity is going ahead. We will contact participants if the activity is to be rescheduled.
What do I wear?
Wear unrestrictive clothes that you are comfortable to stretch and move around in. You’ll probably get warm and sweaty so exercise clothes are recommended. Bring warm layers in the colder months and sun protection in the warmer months.
Do I need my own gear?
Pinnacle Sports will provide you with all the gear necessary to climb or abseil. This includes climbing shoes, a helmet, harness, belay devices, ropes, etc..
Can I use my own gear?
As long as your gear is rated to recreational climbing standards and has not expired, you may use your own gear. This is subject to inspection and the discretion of the guide.

I've never climbed or abseiled before, can I still come?
Yep, we have no requirements for technical skill level, so anyone is able to participate. Our qualified guides will let you know what you need to do on the day.
I'm scared of heights, should I do this activity?
