Rock Climbing Katoomba

Serendipity Canyon - Grade: Moderate
8:00 am - 5:00 pm
After a 1/2 hour easy grade bush walk a 15 meter abseil takes you to down to creek level and it's lush temperate rain-forest.
As you progress along the creek via a series of abseils up to 20 metres high you will find the canyon walls gradually begin to rise up each side of the creek.
After a magnificent tunnel section you will arrive at the beautiful Wollangambe river. Then it's time for a late lunch and a play in the warmer waters of the main river, before a casual one hour walk back to the car.

This is a full day of rock climbing.
We cater for all levels and experience.
The entire day is spent climbing and teaching you the different types of moves and techniques in order to move through the vertical world of rock climbing.
The emphasis is on fun and learning as you climb.


Please note that if you are travelling by train it is
a beautiful scenic 2 hour ride from Sydney. The train normally leaves central
between 6:13am and 6:25am (please check prior to the day)

This canyon is not for the faint-hearted. Three tricky abseils are negotiated before you reach the main creek, which starts with a bit of creek walking and scrambling around big boulders.
Soon the first highlight of the canyon is reached: the two main abseils which lead you down a vertical waterfall. The stance between the abseils is a chockstone, wedged in an airy position half way down the waterfall. This is canyoning at its best!
Another abseil and jump gets us to the end of the canyon. To walk out we sneak up through steep gullies between rock faces and walk along narrow ledges.
The excitement continues at an easy 10 meter rock climb 300 meters above the base of the canyon. Easy walking takes us back to the car park.

There are only 10 trips per year allowed in this Canyon
A long and narrow canyon, this is one of the hardest trips we run. The approach is via the Wollangambe exit track, then up and over the next ridge.
A 10 metre abseil takes you to the canyon floor. The canyon then narrows dramatically with several more abseils up to 15 metres and a few duck unders with pitch black tunnel swims.
The final spectacular section is called the green room, with its magical filtered light. We then descend the middle section of the Wollangambe Canyon passing 2 excellent water jumps on route.
The walk out is about 1.5 hours.
