  • Home About Us Darren

Hi, I’m Darren.

I am the operations manager for High and Wild. I have been working as an outdoor adventure guide in the Blue Mountains for 30 years, 20 of those with High and Wild.

I’m a keen rock climber and have an interest in natural history. I love sharing my knowledge of the Blue Mountains and interpreting its natural history for clients.

Feel the fear … but do it anyway!

This canyon is not for the faint-hearted. Three tricky abseils are negotiated before you reach the main creek, which starts with a bit of creek walking and scrambling around big boulders.
