All climbing gear is provided free of any extra charge.
Our ratio is 1:6, which means for groups larger than 6 participants, we will add additional guides. This allows for more climbing opportunities for all members of the group.
Rock climbing is an exciting activity offered for either a half day (4 hours) or full day (8 hours) adventure. In case you feel fatigued or decide to explore something else, we are flexible to switch to a serene tour of Interstate Park or provide hands-on lessons on essential technical skills such as building a climbing anchor, rappelling, or learning new knots.
Rock climbing tour start times
Our programs are set to default start times of 8am and 1pm, but we are happy to accommodate changes once you have secured your reservation. Adjusting the start time may lead to a slightly condensed program duration since our guides often have subsequent engagements scheduled. Let us know your preferred time, and we'll do our best to make it work for you.
Meeting location
You will receive a booking confirmation with a link to our meeting location and more details. Meeting location is flexible, please contact us to arrange an alternative meetup.
Lunch
We do not provide snacks or beverages in an attempt to keep our rates low for you. However, for your convenience, you can purchase tasty "grab n’ go" lunches & snacks at the Juneberry Cafe just across the road from the Visitor Center, our meeting point.
What to expect at the park
Some programs will choose to stay in one spot to maximize the number of climbs you do and others will choose to move around and see more areas. It’s totally up to you and we can play it by ear because it’s just us!
