  • Home About Us Hayden

Hi, I’m Hayden!

I was introduced to the amazing world of outdoor adventures by my close friends, who decided it would be quite amusing to take someone who had only abseiled once in their life over an extremely high cliff edge that only experienced abseilers would normally do. To increase the fear levels, all of this was done in the dark, and I was given little to no instruction whatsoever!

What an adventure!

Even though at the time this was what I considered as ‘Type 2 Fun’, I have been hooked on it ever since.

I commenced and completed the Certificate III and IV in Outdoor Recreation, and I have been guiding abseiling, canyoning and rock climbing ever since.

The best part about my job is not only the fact that I get paid to do some pretty awesome activities but the fact that I get to meet some pretty awesome people and have an epic adventure with them along the way.

Feel the fear … but do it anyway!
