Do I need experience?

Expand icon

We do recommend that you have at least tried indoor climbing before, but you don’t need to be crushing the hard grades! We will set up a variety of different climbs, but we suggest that you can climb a grade 18 in the gym to get the most out of the day.

Where is it?

Expand icon

We are currently guiding at Thompson’s Point in Nowra. We will provide you with a detailed description to get there closer to the date.

Can I go by myself?

Expand icon

Sure you can, there will be other people in the group to take turns climbing and belaying with.

Is there a minimum age?

Expand icon

Minimum age is 12 to belay, any younger climbers will need a dedicated person to hold the ropes for them. We also recommend all climbers be able to do grade 18 in the gym to get the most out of the day. Have a chat to Hangdog staff to see if your child would be suitable to come along.
