Queensland

Queensland offers a diverse tropical and subtropical climbing landscape, ranging from the volcanic intrusions and basalt columns of the southeast near Brisbane to the vast sandstone escarpments of the central and northern interior. Climbers visiting the state encounter everything from steep sport routes on sound volcanic rock to adventurous trad climbing on remote sandstone and granite. The region's climbing is heavily influenced by seasonal weather patterns, with the cooler, drier winter months providing the optimal conditions across most areas.
