Climbing
Introduction
Indoor wall climbing is great way to challenge your students and facilitate healthy supportive attitudes and capabilities.Qualified floor managers provide students with basic instructions on climbing at Twizel’s modern indoor climbing facility. Adults are not left out – expect to be belaying!
Senior students who are competent climbers may like to attempt the Sebastopol Bluffs. Alpine guides are able to assist with this – let us know if you would be keen to explore that option.
