What to expect
You'll spend the first part of the session learning rope systems, harness fitting, and basic climbing movement under instructor supervision. Routes are set at different grades so you progress at your own pace—beginners typically work on lower-angle slabs whilst experienced climbers tackle steeper pitches. After climbing, you'll abseil back down with guide support. Expect to be on rock for most of the four hours, with short water and shade breaks between efforts. The park feels removed from suburban sprawl despite the proximity to Adelaide.

Not suitable if pregnant, recovering from spinal injury, or with cardiovascular concerns. Weight range 25–120 kg; minimum height 120 cm.
