Private Rock Climbing Shore Excursion from Lyttelton

The tour starts with some time exploring the historic port town of Lyttelton. We'll then drive up Evans Pass, a steep road with stunning views of Lyttelton Harbour. Just 15 minutes from Lyttelton, near the top of the Port Hills, is Cattlestop Crag and other pop-up climbing areas. Your guide will set up some suitable rock climbs for the group and, before anyone starts climbing, you'll have a safety briefing and learn you how to use the equipment. Once everyone has got the hang of the system, your guide will continue to set up appropriately challenging climbs. With over 2,000 climbing routes in Christchurch, there are plenty of options no matter what your level of experience. Take a break to enjoy picnic-style lunch overlooking Christchurch or Lyttelton depending on the climbing area used. After lunch, your guide will set up an abseil for you to try lowing yourself down from the top of a cliff. Leaving the crag your guide will drop you back at the meeting point on the port.
