At Extreme Edge, serious climbers can push themselves to the limit at the renowned Extreme Edge indoor rock climbing facility, featuring an abundance of challenging climbing routes. These cater for novices through to professional climbers and last year, they hosted multiple national climbing events with international judges, and were touted as one of the best places competitors had ever climbed.

 

Climbing routes from absolute beginners to experienced professionals feature climbing route heights ranging from 10 - 12 meters, over 65 top-ropes enabling access to a huge range of challenging climbing walls and impressive overhanging walls reserved for lead climbing.

 

For anyone keen to enhance their climbing skills, they should ‘get an edge’ by attending one of Glen Eden Extreme Edge’s climbing-specific courses. This introduction to lead climbing course is for those people who want to use the lead climbing facilities but don't know how to begin. They only run this course for four people or more at a time and it consists of 2x3 hour sessions, helping people start leading in a safe and controlled environment with the assistance of one of their instructors. This course is held on a monthly basis and is recommended for people confidently climbing grade 17+.

 

It doesn't matter if you're by yourself or with a group, a one hour tuition will improve your climbing technique with one of Glen Eden Extreme Edge’s experienced instructors. However, advanced bookings are essential. They also

offer a number of courses for kids and adults, and their Rock Hoppers and Hopper Plus courses give kids and young adults the insight and training that they need to become an expert on the ropes.

 

They also offer one-on-one tuition for both kids and adults. This is where they pair you with one of their rock climbing experts and learn rock climbing tips and tricks unique to your ability.
