What is a Rescue Skills Refresher?
This one-day course is designed for climbers who have previously completed rescue training and want to maintain their skills sharp. It provides a structured review of key rescue techniques while incorporating any updates in best practices and equipment.
Our group spent the weekend with Aaron learning Anchoring, abseiling, and top roping skills. His teaching methods were very clear and understandable. He was calm, professional, and reassuring, which is what I personally needed due to my fears of risk and heights. By the end of the course I was able to confidently place an anchoring system that I was confident in and took away the skills that would allow me to do it outside of the class environment.
Had Aaron teach me and three others over two days. Very informative and answers any questions you have with climbing with confidence. Over all great person and teacher
Sitting in Montreal bus station with my toat bag handles tied shorter like Simon Mentz taught Meg and I to build Trad Anchors. Thankyou for the life skills, the gesture and the time to guide us, teach us to be safe and have rad Trad climbing adventures together
Aaron, Hamid and the rest of the team are amazing, approachable teachers who make you feel safe and confident no matter what level you are at. I’ve been along to trips for kids and undertaken courses myself and have only had positive experiences. Highly recommend.
Amazing course, full of knowledge, and very thorough, ensuring you are set for your indoor assessment and the outdoors! So excited to use my new skills, and super confident in getting out there!
Completed the Alpine Skills Course with The Climbing Company over the weekend and couldnt be more happy with it. Pauly was excellent and really clear in his lessons, He also created a great friendly environment. I will 100 percent book with The CIimbing Company and Pauly again!
I recently completed the Alpine 1 course with The Climbing Company and had an absolutely amazing experience. This was my first time learning proper alpine skills, including abseiling, rope skills and knots, using crampons, different techniques for walking on snow, self-arrest techniques and using an ice axe.
Pauly was a fantastic instructor — incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient and supportive. I really liked the way he taught us. He would clearly explain and demonstrate each skill first, then give us plenty of opportunity to practise it ourselves while guiding us and correcting us along the way. He made everything easy to understand and created a really comfortable environment where you could ask questions, have a go and keep practising.
The course was very hands-on, which I really enjoyed. Being completely new to these skills, I walked away with so much more knowledge, practical experience and far more confidence than I walked in with. I never felt intimidated or out of place while learning.
We also had an amazing group, which made the experience even better. Everyone was friendly, supportive and encouraging, and there were plenty of laughs while learning together.
A huge thank you to Pauly for such a great introduction to alpine skills and for making the whole experience so enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend Alpine 1 with The Climbing Company to anyone wanting to learn and build their confidence in the mountains. 🏔️❄️

Me and my friend enrolled in both the Single-Pitch and Multi-Pitch Trad courses over a full week while we were staying in Natimuk. We read that The Climbing Company were the best guides to teach us Trad skills at Mt Arapiles and we were not wrong. Aaron was an incredible teacher, making us feel competent and confident within as short as a day (with prvious outdoor sport climbing experience) to tackle single pitches across raps over the next few days. He tried his best to schedule the course for us within short notice. Returning for the Multi-pitch course after a few days of climbing by ourselves really cemented why it’s so essential to learn from experienced professionals. There were so many small but critical skills that Aaron taught us that seemed to be emerging techniques becoming the standard in safety for building anchors on multi-pitch climbs. After the two days of the course we felt so confident to tackle some multi-pitches of our own (Siren, Agamemnon, Brolga, Panzer, Arachnus). We were taught skills related to abseiling, descending when in situations where the rope isn’t long enough, or when communication is poor (which we put to use not long after the course).
It was an incredible privilege to learn from a guiding company with serious history and, to hear that they have been active in the involvement with the positive resolution of Mt Arapiles future climbing with respect to the First Nations communities’ cultural heritage.
I couldn’t recommend The Climbing Company enough for anyone wanting to learn or wanting a refresher in the world of Trad Climbing. We are already planning our trip back to Mt Arapiles, and keen on reading into the Big Wall course also offered.
