“This was our third time climbing and abseiling with Earl and his team and every time gets better and better! Would highly recommend these guys. They really know their stuff and are great with all age groups and all levels of ability. We especially appreciate the way Earl has encouraged and helped both our young girls to participate in and enjoy both climbing and abseiling. Thanks again Earl and team!”
– Allan Baldwin
“Highly recommend a day out of abseiling and rock climbing with Earl. We had an amazing time and found it so exhilarating and challenging. I can’t praise Earl enough on his patience, knowledge and down to earth manner. We always felt safe and he did an awesome job at settling our nerves and spurring us on through our hesitations. Can’t wait to do it again.”
-Sokleng Eang
“Our “GaP n Back” crew took the leap of faith with Earl! What an experience!! Earl’s expertise and words of encouragement with kids & adults alike gave everyone the chance to step out of their comfort zone and experience the thrill of abseiling off a 22m cliff face. Rock climbing catered for the diversity of our group of ages 5 and above! Highly recommend for family group of all ages.”

Next year we welcome OutBeyond and look forward to working with their team to provide the climbing component to the programs here in the Grampians and Arapiles.
Here's a little clip from a recent trip showcasing the Grampians!

Such a great photo of Jess from Ararat Physiotherapy who at had no intention to "step out of her comfort zone" when we met at the car park!
And she didn't......Rather, just expanded her comfort zone!
Such a great smile.
Whats next Jess?Last weekend our Physiotherapist's attended a professional development course in Halls Gap.
We learned more about treating shoulder injuries and further improved our skills that will benefit our clients.
Sunday morning we did a little team bonding and took part in rock climbing. It was a first for many in the group.
A big thank you to Earl from Hangin' Out in the Grampians for helping us to face our fears.

Who doesn't like change or doing something different!?
Recently Hangin' Out was asked to oversee a safe voyage on a site visit to the becoming infamous "Edge of the World", which will become part of the epic Grampians Peak Trail. Our main purpose was to set safety ropes for the team including Parks Victoria staff and Glenn Berrill and co, from Thompson Berrill Landscape Design and the geo-tech who needed to assess the cliff integrity for a very bold and most amazing "Airwalk"! This will be a 40-60 meter platform that skirts the majestic cliffs on the Mt Difficult Range.
With Glenn Berrill designing this, the end result will surely be an amazing piece of engineering bringing a unique experience and perspective along the Peaks Trail.

I love my job; Makes it even more satisfying when I can organise something special and rig 2 year old Tilly on her fathers' back. Thanks to Cass Trent Johnston from Dynamite Cycles Buninyong for giving us the opportunity to make it an extra special day for us all!

Henry Green's first climb was in 2002 shortly after starting my business, when Henry was 5yrs old! What a pleasure to take him climbing again, now at 20 years old. It has been very grounding; I suddenly feel my age, though also proud that I have been able to stay in business this long to see a child develop into a man!
October 11th, 3:37 pm
This photo was taken 15 years ago! Daisy and her family were some of my first 100 customers! A post of her brother Henry climbing with me again this year will preview soon!
October 11th, 3:25 pm
So glad the warm weather is with us now!Hangin' around in the Grampians today! Was freezing cold but had a good crack for our first time rock climbing outdoors in such a spectacular spot!
