Australian School of Mountaineering

ASM is a fantastic adventure company! We’ve done two full day course with them - abseiling and canyoning, and the survival course - and both were top notch. Brian (survival course) knew his Australia bush survival so well and is a wonderful teacher. Very patient, passionate and knowledgeable. We felt very safe with him and inspired to learn more about our busy land. Harry (abseiling and canyoning) was also fantastic. Knowledgeable, very friendly and extremely calm - which is what you need when you’re freaking out on a cliff edge! Harry is very passionate about his craft and enjoys to share his knowledge and educate others. We got more than what we paid for with ASM. Highly highly recommended!

I did a canyoning adventure with ASM to the serendipity gorge. Absolutely brilliant. Guide excellent. The whole day was perfect. Do it!

I highly recommend the adventurous full-day tour of the Serendipity Canyon. The ASM provided perfectly suited gear and the guides, Lauren and Brian, were absolutely wonderful in sharing their competence, passion and knowledge. The tour gave me a unique perspective of this stunning landscape and the day was rich in exciting activities including abseiling from various rocks and cliffs, swimming and hiking along the canyon.

I had a great private lesson with Harry. He is kind, patient and knowledgeable. I have recommended him endlessly to anyone who would like to canyon in the Blue mountains. Don't choose anyone else!

I did the full-day hiking, abseiling & canyoning tour of Serendipity Canyon with ASM on Saturday. The team was brilliant from start to finish - professional, knowledgable and a lot of fun. They took the time to ensure everyone in our large group was fully prepared before we set off. Throughout the day, the guides were supportive, shared extensive knowledge of the environment and skills to safely navigate the canyon. I would absolutely recommend!

Did the Serendipity Canyon last weekend with the amazing guides Lewis and Sophia and it was AWESOME!!! Such an amazing experience, if you're looking for something to get the heart racing and blood pumping then this is for you.I'll definitely be back, can't wait for the next adventure!! Thanks again team!!

Had a fantastic day rock climbing!! Our guide Scott was professional, well experienced, and gave us good climbing tips to improve our skills. My friend Jen and I had the best day ever and I highly recommend climbing with ASM (and Scott the climbing legend of course).

I did the Abseiling adventure with Scott and it was absolutely amazing. Scott is the best guide ever - HIGHLY recommend. I’m someone who doesn’t do a lot of outdoor adventure and is scared of heights and somehow Scott made me feel comfortable enough to get through all the courses and some extra bonus bits as well. Great day 1 definitely going to try out some other adventures offered by the company.

I used a Red Balloon voucher to purchase a one day introduction to wilderness survival. I learned so much including about useful native plants (such as medicinal mushrooms, ones to make a flour and of course my favourite, edibles).The group sizes are kept small so there is plenty of time to learn and ask questions.Brian Newton the leader is a wealth of knowledge and he is very approachable and kind.I went to learn more about the great outdoors and how to stay safe in the Australian environment. I learned about what to pack, how to make a fire, set up a tarp shelter, tying knots and an intro into navigation too.Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to go out bush and broaden your skill set. Can’t wait to do my next course. I went with a friend and had the best day ever. And they provided a very generous lunch to boot. If you’re thinking about it, just book it now, there’s adventure and fun to be had out there.

Our guides were both supportive helpful and not pushy. The ensured everyone's safety at all times and we're amazingly talented, they made the day both educstional and fun. Highly recomend.
