About the Event

This activity is also for people new to rock climbing but with already quite some experience in outdoor, hiking and familiar with altitude and exposure! We will be strapping on the harness, the helmet and come down from cliffs of rock with rope and repelling equipment.

This trip will be limited to 8 participants only to ensure each person has adequate supervision by the guides and trainers!

PROGRAM

The timing is weather and conditions dependent. Our intention is to start early morning (between 7 and 9am) and finish by 2-4pm)
