Mt Arapiles Multi Pitch Climbing Course. Monday April 26. 2021. Glorious weather provided a magnificent backdrop to a week long climbing multi pitch course in Arapiles, Victoria. With a group of 6 and 2 very experienced guides it was a great experience. The guides with different levels of experience in extreme sports, both blended well to provide a truly safe, professional and confident training experience. I would have no hesitations in recommending this course.

This will be a full day of exploring destinations not usually seen or experienced by the average visitor to the World Heritage-listed upper Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Yes, you could visit all the usual standard and well worn Blue Mountains crowded tourist destinations but isn’t it more fun to “step off the trail” and explore those little known places that only us locals know about? I'd like you to join me to explore the unknown, to see places that few have seen, to take home memories and tell of experiences that your friends will envy. We will experience awesome vistas, explore amazing caves, walk through cool rain forests, and dine on yummy local food and drink. The goal for the day is to avoid all the usual crowded tourist hot spots and visit some really outstanding secret places. Our day starts at Katoomba and we'll travel as far as Little Hartley, with stops in Medlow Bath, Blackheath, Megalong Valley, Shipley, and Mount Victoria.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, Private transportation, First Aid kit on-board

Scott was great. Very knowledgeable of Sydney and we went to places you will not find in large bus tours. He was accommodating to our request and made sure we were all (three couples with different interest) happy with the tour. He took great pictures that he sent to us and ended with a great drink at Sydney’s oldest tavern. He was on time and we never felt rushed and was flexible to make sure we saw the items on our most see list. If you are doing this tour you should request Scott!

We were looking to book a tour to the Blue Mountains at the last minute in probably the busiest week of the year. Although we called on New Years Eve and Country Trails was fully booked that week, Glen very kindly suggested other companies who might be worth trying. Luckily we did manage to find one available. His was the only tour company who took this extra time to help and we really appreciated this, thank you Glen. We will definitely look you up (in good time!) when we come back again.
