Rock Climbing

“One does not climb to attain enlightenment, rather one climbs because he is enlightened.”

- Zen Master Futomaki -

Rock climbing is a popular, physically and mentally demanding sport. It will test your strength, stamina, balance along with your patience and mental control.

Our climbing programs will teach you the basics or help you expand on skills you already have so that you can try more challenging objectives.

Our guides are passionate about climbing from short single pitches to big walls and they love to share that enthusiasm. 

Challenge yourself to use your own power to get to the top of a rock face and experience the awe-inspiring views.
