Lukenya Rock Climbing

Every fortnight we have a scheduled rock climbing session happening. There are hundreds of trad routes and sport-climbing options. The climbing routes vary in difficulty from easy to very severe.

Overview of the Introductory Session

· Climbing language and terms

· Body movement and balance

· Rope Management
