What to expect
You'll travel to the climbing wall and spend time with your guide covering essential techniques before stepping onto actual stone. Expect to practice foot placement, hand holds, and how to manage the rope system. Progress at your own speed—some folks climb several routes in four hours, others work on one problem and nail it repeatedly. The guide won't push you beyond comfort; this is about building confidence and basic competence, not speed or distance covered.
Good to know
Bring plenty of water (not supplied). Wear trainers you don't mind scuffing and clothing allowing full arm and leg movement. Moderate fitness is essential. Not suitable if you have back problems, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Public transport gets you nearby; confirm drop-off details when booking.
