The Victorian State - Just Get It Done! - Rope Access Challenge

The Australian - Just Get It Done! - Rope Access Challenge

Proudly sponsored by Edelrid, Australia's leading brand in rope access

Bringing the best rope access technicians from all over Australia together to compete in the biggest rope access competition ever hosted in Australia.

A completely new format of rope access challenge, never before done anywhere in the world.

Technicians will be performing challenging manouvres, required to use tools to complete tasks that they would do in the real world, whilst there is Punk Rock music glaring out of the speakers, smoke machines are pumping and the lights, lazers and strobes are shining in their eyes.

There will be 4 state challenges in NSW, VIC, QLD and WA, plus a national final at a mistery location to be announced in August, after the last state competition is completed.

However, every participant not reaching the podium will be honored with a certificate of achievement for having "Successfully Completed the Australian - Just Get It Done! - Rope Access Challenge."

The essence of this event is enjoyment and providing each participating company and their representatives a chance to enhance their visibility and reputation with their clients and friends alike.

In the spirit of this, we are committed to acknowledging the effort of all who participate. In this way, each participant is a winner in their own right.
