Best day ever. A local who knows all the guides told us a day with Hugh is flying first class - 100% right. He’s taught half the climbing community, amazingly qualified and is a bit of a local legend. For a nervous first timer, having Hugh there to coach, skilfully guide and manage fears was an absolute game changer. I felt 100% safe and supported at all times in our private booking. He is intuitive, wise, kind, humble, funny and you couldn’t find a nicer human. Serendipity Canyon exceeded anything we could have imagined and is truly unforgettable - Jurassic trees, sandstone towers, green for days. Every moment Hugh had a plan, guiding each step through the tough parts, even being my hold-on-point on scrambles, back up plans to make every minute safe and fun. With a slowly reforming fear of heights, Hugh sat with me talking me through one (optional) jump into the water with the kind of patient wisdom you rarely witness. I could not recommend Blue Mountains Climbing School more deeply and unreservedly to you. Book now, you’ll never look back. So thankful we found this place!

My first time in the Blue Mountains and my first multi-pitch climb couldn’t have been better. I climbed Whymper with Hugh, who’s such a great guide, knowledgeable, safe, a very nice and fun person too. I loved that he tailored the tour based on my skills and wishes, such that I had a good challenge, still safe and enjoyable. The climb was superb and in a stunning environment. As we completed the climb earlier than expected, Hugh took me on an extra abseiling and climbing adventure, where he taught me how to lead and anchor. I had such a great time and I heartily recommend the Blue Mountains Climbing School for your adventures in the area!🤩

Fabulous day sport climbing with Hugh with two 12 yo girls. They are both gym enthusiasts and one hasn’t climbed outdoors before, so Hugh’s style was perfect to teach them the ropes! They learned how to lead belay, both did their first lead climb, and tackled a few climbs that pushed their comfort limits 🧗. Hugh’s constant supply of tricks to keep them going was great - they both said they would happily climb with him again 👏. Thanks for a fabulous day!

Absolutely loved our canyoning experience with Blue Mountains Climbing School. Serendipity Canyon is stunning. Our guides were phenomenal!! It was so much fun, there were so many laughs between trying something new, barrel rolls with our packs in the water, and a few spectacularly ungraceful landings. We will definitely be back again for another adventure with Blue Mountains Climbing School.

We did a custom climbing course with Blue Ridge Climbing School and it was an incredible experience. Hugh was an outstanding instructor — calm, knowledgeable, and fantastic at building confidence. It genuinely felt like climbing with a mate, but with expert guidance. He went out of his way to share as much knowledge as possible, even teaching us hauling techniques in the car park after a full day of climbing. I learned a huge amount in one day, got a clear and honest sense of where my climbing is at, and felt far more confident heading into a multi-pitch Hugh recommended for the next day. Highly recommend.
