Rock Climbing - Half-Day
Operates Twice Daily (09:00 and 14:00)
 This
course is for everyone and is a fun four hours. It enables
students to give rock climbing a go with the safety of an
instructor. The climbing area is just a five-minute walk
from the office. First, all students are fitted out with a
climbing harness and shoes.
The
instructor demonstrates how to belay and the safety knots
used. The instructor then climbs the route as lead climber
and fixes a rope through an anchor (safety point). Now its
the student turn to climb (top rope) which means the rope is
above the person is very safe. So if you need to rest or let
go of the rock the student will 'fall' a maximum distance of
only 20cm. On our half-day course students experience climbs
from 10 to 27 metres high.
