The only indoor climbing wall in Northland, this is a fantastic activity for children and adults, from four years up. Our climbs range from fun and easy for complete beginners, to technical and challenging - something to work towards! There are 25 ropes, giving you a choice of 60 climbs and the routes are changed regularly so you won't get bored!
No experience is necessary - we run free lessons in basic safety and belay technique. (The belayer is the person on the ground, controlling the rope for the climber). We also offer a range of after school programmes and great birthday party options. So bring in the kids for a fun and different activity. Note: parents who don't want to climb can still belay their child - no cost for the belayer and we provide instruction and harness.
