Description

Basecamp Adventures Queenstown will take you on a climbing expedition that will take your breath away. Perfect for beginners and advanced climbers alike, choose a half day or full day experience. Give rock climbing or mountaineering a go in this stunning alpine environment.

Witness some of Queenstown’s most spectacular scenery such as the beautiful Queenstown Hill and the majestic Remarkables mountain range. Our certified guides have extensive knowledge of the Wakatipu area and will lead you to the best spots for learning and testing your skills in a relaxed and spectacular environment.

Rock Climbing and abseiling is a great family adventure on either the full or half day experiences.

Rock Climbing – Half Day
This social, active and authentic 4 hour adventure activity suitable for all ages is perfect for families and beginners with no prior experience. We keep our group ratios low in order to tailor every trip to individual needs. Choose from a variety of climbs from easy low angle routes suitable for beginners to ultra challenging routes for experienced climbers which include heart-stopping overhangs.

Rock Climbing – Full Day
Enjoy a full day rock climbing extravaganza where you will learn useful basic techniques gleaned from your Introduction Day in an isolated and visually stunning location. You won’t encounter any crowds and will have ample time to tackle the rocks.

Experienced rock climbers will also benefit from this experience as they are free to upgrade their skills by learning or participating in multi pitch climbing, hard sport climbing, natural protection climbing or any other particular rock climbing activity. Consult one of the friendly staff members to design your own private excursion.

Mountaineering – Full Day Remarkables Expedition
The jagged peaks of the Remarkables towering over Queenstown are an iconic sight. Guided climbs originating in Queenstown that take you up Single Cone, the Remarkables’ highest peak, are available in both summer and winter. Experience incredible views as you revel in the satisfaction of conquering the mighty mountains. Day trips last over 8 hours and all fitness levels and levels of ability can be catered to.

All the necessary equipment will be provided, including an ice axe, harness, helmet, crampons and, in winter, avalanche transceivers, so you’ll be as safe as possible. Wearing good boots is advised so your trek to the mountains will be a comfortable one.
