rock climbing
People of all ages and physical capabilities can try this fun sport without feeling like they need brute upper body strength. If done properly, beginner pitches should feel very similar to climbing a ladder. Many beginner climbers default to using their arms to ‘pull’ themselves up routes but we teach you to use the biggest muscles (legs) in your body to do most of the work. Like all technical sports, proper technique goes a long way, making good coaching and instruction all the more important. Advanced rock climbing on steep pitches requires great skill, strength and stamina so this is typically developed over years of training and experience.
