Tucked away throughout the Southern Alps are many long, stunning rock routes, leading onto spectacular summits. The Classic Alpine Rock Ascents package allows one or two participants to seek out as many of these hidden gems as weather and time allow.
Venues can include the Darran Mountains in Fiordland, The South Temple, Twin Stream, and many others...
Sam will tailor the mission to give you the best possible climbing trip, based on your experience level. Trips can be designed to suit all levels of rock climber, but some previous experience is essential.
You also need a high level of fitness and to be super keen to climb on some of the best, most sought after alpine rock routes in the Southern Alps.
This program has been developed by "senior" AGL guide Sam Bosshard. Climbing alpine rock is Sam’s great passion. Let him take you to his favourite areas and then climb the best routes. These are mostly well off the beaten track where you will likely have the mountain all to yourself...
No fixed departure dates. Instead you can choose the dates and duration of the trip to suit your travel plans (subject to availability). Advance bookings are essential.
Season: we recommend January- April
