They say the only way is up, but that doesn't mean you can't get creative with the way you get there. Peak Pursuits is a new indoor recreational sports centre with a big emphasis on fun.
The giant spider web
This place is hidden away in the industrial area of Castle Hill and is best described as a creative indoor rock climbing place like no other in Sydney, as it is not just rocks you will be climbing - there is a spider web, a rope ladder, a cargo net and even dangling logs.
The rope climb
You can also test your balancing act on the high ropes course activities, the first of its kind in Australia.
The quarter cargo net ropes course
This is definitely a place to take the kids, but it is certainly not just for the young ones. And take it from me when I say you do not need to have a high level of fitness or coordination to enjoy this place
I mean sure, it helps, but if you are willing to leave your pride at the door and regain your sense of adventure, you will still manage to have a whole lot of fun, even if you say, accidentally smack your head into a climbing wall (not that that happened to me), plough face first into the sumo hug bag (I'm just assuming that could happen), or struggle to find the strength to attach the rope to your harness (that may have happened several times).
The urban glass tower climb with suction cups
The other great thing about Peak Pursuits is that everything is self-belayed, so it does not discriminate against the friendless.
The blindfolded walk up the Kung Fu poles
And if you still have any energy left, for an extra $5 each you can try any of the extra jumps like walking up the Kung Fu poles blindfolded, sliding down the big drop or one of the leaps of faith a jump from high up to either a trapeze or the sumo hug boxing bag (remember to jump arms first, not face first).
Your fingers will need some TLC after a visit here, but it is definitely worth it to regain that sense of adventure that came so naturally to you when you were a child.
