Let Alpine Recreation show you why so many climbers are addicted to South Island Rock. Our courses take you to the top climbing spots with more than 1500 routes, with grades from 10 to 24. Boost your outdoor rock climbing skills by receiving personal tuition from a professional mountain guide IFMGA qualified. These courses will identify your skill level and build on that to train you to become a confident lead-climber and prepare you for multi-pitch climbing. Beginning and ending in Christchurch the 9-day programme takes in a variety of rock from basalt and limestone to granite - in stunning settings.
