Just finished the level 2 alpine course. Again, excellent instruction and knowledge concerning glacier travel, long toping, short-roping,, and crevasse rescue. Thanks Hamid and Lachlan
Hamid was our instructor for both courses and he had an incredible in his teaching style – the right amount of information and theory mixed in with practical application and loads of fun. I had no knowledge about how to climb in Alpine environments prior to these courses. These courses have provided me with essential skills and knowledge to feel more confident going to Mera Peak.
A big thank you to Hamid and The Climbing Company for offering such a great course so close to Melbourne! Would highly recommend.
A simple, safety-first approach to climbing outdoors
◆ Start where you are
You don’t need prior experience or a perfect plan. We meet you where you’re at and help you figure out what makes sense next.
◆ Learn skills that apply outside
We teach practical systems you’ll use again and again and support you as you apply them in real outdoor environments, not just on the day, but beyond it.
◆ Progress with clarity (not pressure)
There’s no rush here. You can build skills over time, choose your next steps with confidence, and keep learning in a way that feels sustainable and considered.

Alpine Guiding Partner
Accredited Course Provider
your guide’s got the gear, the plan and your back the whole climb.
We’re obviously biased, we think our guides are excellent, professional and passionate about being out there. That’s why we hired them! But so do a lot of other people (the Google reviews back us up).
Every guide you’ll learn with is ACIA certified, highly experienced, and genuinely invested in helping you understand what you’re doing — not just getting you through the day.
You’ll be supported, challenged when it makes sense, and given the space to build confidence properly. The goal isn’t to impress anyone. It’s to leave feeling capable, prepared, and clear about what comes next.
