A local Tasmanian business started by Garry Phillips in order to bring his passion for climbing and the Tasmanian wilderness to a wider audience.

The business is based in Hobart, but operates statewide. It is dedicated to the principles of respectful utilisation and preservation of the unique Tassie environment. This includes adhering to minimal impact principles and providing education on group etiquette and behavior within the Parks visited.

Rock Climbing Adventures Tasmania has been formed in close consultation with Parks and Wildlife Services to ensure a cooperative and inclusive approach to experiencing the wilderness.
