Activity explanations

Low level traversing

Involves climbing across a vertical wall, 8.6 metres long x 2.4 metres high.  No roped protection or impact matting is used for this activity due to the perceived low risk.

Bouldering (with roped protection)

Involves climbing to the height of up to 5 metres above an impact mat.  Participants will also be given roped protection to enable them to be lowered from the walls.  Participants will be supervised.

Top roping (instructor controlled)

Involves climbing on the 11 metre walls with roped protection.  The instructor will be in control of the rope to ensure proper safety techniques are adhered to.
