RockWire Route 2 opens this weekend – join in the extra vertical fun!

If you thought RockWire's Route 1 was a rush, buckle up (or rather, harness up), because Route 2 is longer, steeper, and guaranteed to have you feeling like a true mountaineer. Introducing Route 2—it will test your skill, nerve, and comfort for Indiana Jones-style wire bridges on Australia’s only via ferrata.

What’s New with Route 2?

Designed by the ever-adventurous James Webb, the director and founder behind RockWire, Route 2 is all about pushing your limits while soaking in jaw-dropping alpine views. With more vertical climbs, thrilling wire bridges, and sections that will have you double-checking your carabiners (just for fun, of course), this course is a step up for those looking for their next adventure fix. You can't rely purely on the man-made handholds this time, this route will have you problem solving with areas of rocky cliff to climb and traverse.

“With Route 2, we’ve pushed the boundaries again of what RockWire offers,” says James Webb. “It’s about creating an experience that’s equal parts daring and awe-inspiring, but still safe. Route 2 is the ultimate playground for thrill-seekers and anyone looking for an experience they’ve never done before.”
