Overview

The ‘Introduction To Rock Climbing’ is our most popular trip. You get the opportunity to experience outdoor rock climbing in a safe and fun way, focusing on maximum time actually climbing, whilst learning safe practices and good technique along the way. It is ideal for those who have never climbed before, or only on an indoor wall.

The climbing can range from easy to challenging and we keep the group sizes small to ensure everyone has a great time and is challenged at their own level. Our qualified instructors/guides will take you to the most suitable venue in the beautiful Matukituki Valley near Wanaka.

What's Included

  • Courtesy transport to and from the climbing areas
  • All technical equipment (harness, climbing shoes, helmet)
  • Professional, qualified guide/instructor
  • Food and drinks

What To Expect

Meet your Guide at Basecamp Wanaka Climbing Centre, or we can pick you up from your Wanaka accommodation if you wish. We'll begin with an introduction to climbing, and you'll be outfitted with all the equipment you will require. 

Your guide will take you to the most suitable climbing location for the group, choosing from a range of climbs which are great for absolute beginners, or for climbers seeking more of a challenge. Enjoy the sun, the mountain views, and the company of your group as you climb together on the doorstep of Mt Aspiring National Park.

We'll spend the maximum possible time on the rock, so you get real value from your half day with us, and plenty of quality interaction with your local guide, and new friends! After 3-3.5 hours of fun, we head back to the vehicle, and we return you to our meeting point, for a well-deserved rest.
