Rock CLimbing

Rock climbing is the process of ascending cliffs. It involves following certain routes on a rock face requiring the use of formed handholds and footholds and specialised equipment as a backup safety system. In this CCA, students will use the rock climbing walls on campus, receive initial training and ongoing coaching to develop their rock climbing skills and confidence.
