The Top End Climbing Association was formed to represent rock climbers in the Top End of the Northern Territory, Australia.
There are challenges facing the rock climbing community in the Top End. Access to climbing had become difficult following the closure of 'The Rock', Darwin's only rock climbing gym, and access issues at many of the local crags.
