Summer is the most popular time for high alpine climbing in New Zealand, and the best time to learn the basics of mountaineering. The more settled summer snowpack allows for access on to the highest peaks, and extended daylight hours make longer routes achievable.
Our climbing instruction courses cover everyone from the absolute beginner, through to the more experienced alpinist.
Most courses run to fixed dates and have limited spaces available.
From NZ's highest and most famous peaks to flexible, low ratio programs designed to meet specific or more general objectives.
