The experience
A 5-minute walk from the car park takes you along the beach to the rock cliff. Once there, the guide runs a safety brief, gets you harnessed and helmeted, and starts teaching. The cliff has climbing routes for all levels: beginners and experienced climbers work on different sections of the same wall. The guide teaches you how to belay your partner up safely, which means you're not just climbing but learning to manage the rope while someone else climbs. If fatigue sets in partway through, the guide can set up a guided abseil instead, lowering you back down through the roof of a cave that opens into the cliff face.
Sessions last 2.5 hours depending on group size and how many people want to climb versus abseil. The minimum group is 4 people. Maximum is 6. All ropes, harnesses, helmets and climbing gear come with the booking. Bring only snacks, drinks and footwear with good grip. The beach itself is open after the session ends, so many groups bring a picnic or set up a small BBQ and stay for the afternoon with family and friends. Contact the guide before booking to arrange the best day and time for weather.
