Itinerary:

If you've ever wanted to try rock climbing, this event is a great opportunity for you to do so. This event is open for those who have never climbed before and for experienced climbers.

For those who have never climbed, the lesson has been booked for 11:00am and will last about 1.5 hours. However, if you're one of "the regulars", meaning that you've climbed with us before, the recommended arrival time is 12pm.

If you require a lesson, please sign yourself up as a beginner. If you will not be taking the lesson DO NOT sign up as a beginner, even if you haven't been climbing that long. Two days before the event, I will call Rockhead's and finalize the number taking the lesson, based on the number of beginners.

If we have 6 people or more taking the lesson each person pays $30, less then 6 each person pays $35. Both prices include day pass, harness & shoe rental. If you do not require a lesson or rentals you pay $17 for your day pass.

Stay as long as you like, but for those who choose we will probably go to the nearest pub for a drink at around 3:00pm.
