Guided climbing with ASM.

5.00We climbed Sweet Dreams in September, and Tom Thumb in November with the Australian School of Mountaineering. We found our guide Pedro to be extremely experienced and he made sure that we had a memorable day out. ASM has a vast number of adventures to choose from and we would highly recommend them.
Father and Son experience

5.00This was a great father and son experience. I am 56 years old and was feeling perhaps I am passed this but it was within my limits. There were a few occasions where I had experienced some fear factor especially in the canyoning obstacles. Our guide (Rob) was easy to get along with, experienced and knowledgeable. I enjoyed hearing about a range of things including how the canyon was formed. Thoroughly recommend.

5.00I took part in the small group rock climbing course. I wanted to learn the basics of top roping and all the safety checks and rules. It was an amazing day and the instructors were fantastic. Our group had people who had done some climbing and some who had never climbed before. The instructors were so encouraging and motivated all of us, getting the best climbs out of us. I have already recommended the company to friends, highly recommend it! Also they provided a really tasty lunch for us. And the views were incredible!
Amazing day and great guide!

5.00Was a great experience for us all. My boys brought their partners and all of us were challenged at some point in the day or for some all of the day. Awesome views. Awesome experiences. We also did the canyoning part and abseiling a waterfall. Well WOW.
Once in a life time experience with professional guide!

5.00Sammy guided me up the Sweet Dreams Mulitpitch with in a very professional and knowledgeable manner. Even though I had experience he was more than happy to explain everything in detail when I requested so. He made me feel safe and capable. After the 4th pitch we took a quick lunch break (amazing sandwiches!) before we continued with the last , and hardest pitch. I love how individually tailored the tour was. If you can climb a level 14 and are in the blue mountains - I absolutely recommend the ASM!

5.00My friend and I did a one day rock climbing course and it was one of the best things I've ever done. We went with Scott and Justine, and they were both fantastic. Everything was well organized and everyone super friendly and encouraging. A fantastic day, I definitely want to do it again. Thank you to Scott and Justine for being great guides- I could really see the passion and excitement that the team has and it translated into an amazing day where everyone was keen and having fun.
