GUIDED OUTDOOR CLIMBING
Nothing beats climbing on real rock, being outside, and feeling the exposure when you climb above the tree line. Nothing beats the view from the top, and the challenge undertaken to get there. Unlike gym climbing where your next hand or foot hold is clearly visible in vibrant colours, each climb on real rock is an adventure of exploration. Granite, quartzite, sandstone, limestone....it's all different. Climbing on real rock requires you to adapt to your climbing style to do the movements that mother nature intended.
But how do you do it? How do you take what you learned indoors to the outdoors? Rock and Rope Climbing Centre offers guiding services to teach you how to make that transition. Our guides will teach you the skills, the safety and the introduce you to the gear to ensure you outdoor adventure is as safe as your visit to the gym.
We offer guided outdoor tours and courses at a gorgeous granite cliff called the Eagle’s Nest, overlooking the town of Brancroft, Ontario. Contact us today to inquire about our tours and courses.
