Pretty amazing experience!
Pretty amazing experience! The guides were very informative and super friendly. Went solo and had a ball with an awesome group of people. Big props to “Sherpa” Lachie, who couldn’t stop making us laugh and was quickly able to swap into guide-mode when needed. Will definitely be back for route 2! P.s. Installing coffee machines half way through the course is a great idea Lach
Just amazing
My friends and I purposely booked in a long weekend in the High Country just to do the Rockwire via ferrata in Mount Buller and we were not disappointed. James (owner) took good care of us. We were given plenty of notice that there is a chance that our adventure may be cancelled under extreme weather conditions- safely first right? Sure enough we received a call the night prior confirming that we all sessions need to be cancelled the following day. James managed to still fit us in while we were still in the High Country during the long weekend. The course was AMAZING. Gorgeous views of the Victorian alpine, the course (we did course 2) was fun and challenging enough. While we are all Hikers none of us have ever done a via ferrata before and did not at any point feel unsafe or too worried. Thanks James and team for bringing this adventure to Australia and Victoria. Can't wait to see Rockwire's future developments.

Rockwire at Mt Buller – An unforgettable experience.
We had a fantastic time with Rockwire at Mt Buller. We completed the morning session on Route 1 with our wonderful guide Jade. Jade was patient, attentive and so supportive throughout the experience making for a terrif experience from start to finish. Jade took amazing pictures for us, which was truly appreciated and enabled us to focus on the climb. We also meet the owner James, who truly has done an amazing job setting up the route, and most importantly ensuring we felt 100% safe the whole time. Not to mention how well placed all the foot and hand holds/steps are - bridges were great fun too. An adrenaline rush for sure, but you always felt safe and could enjoy the incredible views (we were very fortunate and had amazing weather). The high country is truly spectacular. Oh, the hike in and out to the Route is great to soak in the views an certainly kickstarts the heart for the day. We look forward to coming back for Route 2 and highly recommend Rockwire. Thanks Jade (& James) for a fantastic experience.
