Roped sports—abseiling and rockclimbing
- Rockclimbing and abseiling opportunities are suitable for experienced and well equipped climbers only.
- Take care to avoid dislodging rocks as they might hit climbers below you—even small rocks can cause serious injury.
- Never attempt climbs in wet weather as smooth surfaces can be slippery and dangerous. The likelihood of rockfalls and landslides are heightened by rainfall and intense fire activity. Flexible soled shoes with good grip should be worn.
- Consider visiting with a tour guide or club, especially if you are new to this area.
