Activity

What is Climbing Trees?

We have 2 climbing trees, each of them about 14 metres or 45 feet tall. Climbing holds are attached to the tree with each tree having a choice of 2 routes. Whilst you are climbing the rest of the team are involved in belaying which is holding the rope safely, all under the close supervision of your instructor. Participants can climb as high as they want and can be lowered at any time. For anyone who has ever climbed on a climbing wall this is a similar experience, however the tree provides an all together greater sense of exposure and challenge. Get a squirrels eye view!

Suitable for age 8 to adult.
