Australia is a great destination for rock climbing lovers. Let me invite you to the rocky walls near Sydney: we will climb in the stunning scenario of the Blue Mountains!
We will head west from the city towards the Blue Mountains National Park. Only 100 kilometers from the city, this is the best rock climbing spot near Sydney. The terrain is varied, offering several options for all levels and styles, both single-pitch and multi-pitch. The range is a plateau with many sandstone cliffs around it.
In particular, the most popular area in the Blue Mountains is around Mount Victoria and Blackheath. Trad climbing is not always possible in the sandstone of the Blue Mountains, so climbing is mixed, using traditional gear and bolts.
We can get from Sydney to the Blue Mountains by car, bus or train. If you want to climb here for more than a day, we can spend the night in Katoomba, where there are several options of B&B and hostels. It’s also possible to camp in Blackheath.
It’s possible to practice rock climbing around Sydney year-round, but keep in mind that the best seasons are spring and autumn.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
