From Thredbo, it\u2019s a 5 hours drive if you take the dirt track shortcut. With these two experienced rock-climbers and Dan (Nic\u2019s friend and an excellent rock-climber too) we spent our weekend exploring different types of rock-climbing routes on beautiful sandstone cliffs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4109\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_5-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_5\" width=\"174\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_5.jpg 1017w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 174px) 100vw, 174px\" \/><\/a>The <span style=\"color: #9ba868;\"><strong>rock-climbing<\/strong><\/span> spots are in the forests along the river that cuts Nowra in two parts. The forest is magical. Once you get in, you will access to the world of Jurassic Park, surrounded by massive gumtrees and ferns. You will feel really small while you walk through. Some spots with the same features are so close to the city, just on the other side of a road, than you wouldn\u2019t believe there is an amazing rock-climbing playground right here if I would tell you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is only one thing I didn\u2019t really enjoy and it\u2019s about the safety. There is too much gap between each clipping point with sometimes almost 5 meters in between. If you\u2019re not confident enough in your feet, you will freak out if you don\u2019t use to lead. I would recommend getting there with a good rock-climber (who usually climbs 6B-7A rock-climbing routes) to build your confidence on a route on top rope before you try to lead it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"gca-column one-third first\"><a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4110 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_1-174x300.jpg\" alt=\"nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_1\" width=\"174\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_1-174x300.jpg 174w, https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_1.jpg 446w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 174px) 100vw, 174px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"gca-column one-third\"><a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4112 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_4-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_4\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_4-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_4.jpg 1018w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"gca-column one-third\"><a href=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4111 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_3-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_3\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_3-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nowra-nsw-australia_rock-climbing_worldtour-outdoorexperience_3.jpg 574w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since my last post.
