WHO IS THIS FOR
This workshop is suitable for new climbers or boulderers that have tried climbing previously, but want to learn how to move more efficiently.
OUR GUIDES
Our awesome guides are highly trained, fully accredited, and totally stoked! They’ll provide you with all the gear you’ll need - harness, helmet, climbing shoes, and all other safety equipment. All you’ll need is a water bottle and snacks, appropriate clothing, and enclosed shoes for getting around the crag.
Your guides will also take care of all the ropes and rigging, so you can leave the technical stuff to them. That said, if you’re interested in learning how to construct your own climbing and abseiling anchors, our 2-day Top Rope Course is the ideal next step.
DURATION
This workshop runs for 4 hours. If it's an evening class the time is from 5pm to 9pm. If it's a morning class the time is 7:30am to 11:30am. Check the calendar date for the correct time.
