Not so in NSW.

Not rock climbing, but in a case a few years ago related to another "obviously dangerous" activity, flying light aircraft, a student pilot who was severely injured in a crash near Katoomba, caused by engine-failure, sued his instructor. The case proceeded to court but was judged in favour of the instructor. The gist of the judgement was that the student pilot had been informed of, and accepted, the risks. That was despite the actions of the instructor in the case being somewhat questionable (he had ignored a rough running engine because the symptoms seemed to clear up, and pressed on with the lesson).
