The Beyond the Edge portaledge cliff camping experience and The Descent abseil take place on a cliff face at around 300m in height, which makes them amongst the highest in the world.
This unique experience includes a thrilling overnight stay on a portaledge suspended on a vertical cliff face hundreds of metres above the ground. After a thorough training session you will abseil down to your portaledge, perched high on the majestic cliffs of the North Wall of Mount Buffalo gorge. From this spectacular location you can absorb the breathtaking views whilst you enjoy your dinner and settle in for an unforgettable night sleeping on the wall. Dawn will further reveal the beauty of this incredible environment, as you wake to enjoy your breakfast and marvel at your amazing surroundings.
Following breakfast you have the choice of either ascending to the cliff top or, for those thirsting for more adventure, completing "The Descent" to the valley floor ("The Descent" is available at extra cost). "The Descent" is an exposed and exciting abseil ranked amongst the highest in the world.
Spending a night on a portaledge requires courage and mental fortitude, but it is an amazing adventure and an experience like no other. Once completed, you can justifiably feel proud of having participated in an activity that has been shared by very few people in the world. This experience will undoubtedly provide an enormous sense of achievement and memories that will last a lifetime.
It is important to have good clothing and equipment appropriate for conditions ranging from very cold to very hot, and from dry to wet. Participants who have chosen to include "The Descent" abseil as part of the experience will also need to be prepared for a moderately difficult, multi-hour scramble ascent.
