Australia's most mountainous state has some of the world's most challenging abseiling or rappelling opportunities. Whether you are just learning the ropes or looking for your next adrenaline rush you can head out on your own or with a guide.
Popular natural locations include Mount Wellington's Organ Pipes which tower over Hobart, White Water Wall and the Hazards at Freycinet, the cliffs of Cataract Gorge in Launceston, the truly spectacular sea cliffs
of the Tasman Peninsula - which tower above the ocean to 300m. For the utmost in adventure the man made Gordon Dam abseil is the world's highest commercial descent - 150m/450 feet! All of these locations have two words associated with them: heart pumping!
Experienced and skilled commercial guides offer a range of climbing and abseiling adventures in these spectacular locations.
To limber up or to perfect the skills you may need out in the 'real world', there are excellent indoor climbing gyms in Hobart and Launceston - they're good spots to make contact with Tasmanian climbers and maybe link up with a partner for a day on the local crags.
