Join this course to experience and learn rock climbing in Hokkaido – designed for beginners and intermediate climbers.
If you’re traveling in Hokkaido for a hike or for sightseeing, why don’t you include a day on the rocks by the sea and experience a new sport at the same time?
This is a private course but if you’d be interested in joining a group then please see info under “Looking to join a group?” – please note that it will take place at a different crag.
This course welcomes those who have always wanted to go climbing but did not know how to start and where to go. I help you to start rock climbing safely and / or to improve your rock climbing skills.
The course is run in the popular climbing area of Akaiwa in Hokkaido, just 40 minutes drive from Sapporo. I teach the basics in one day on a variety of different levels of climbing routes,
Equipment rentals are available. For beginners I can rent everything and for experienced climbers with own gears please tell me which gears you want to rent:
Rental is 1000 yen each. I can also design lessons to be focused on skills improvements so please let me know.
Please contact me to organize a course where you can learn the basics to safely enjoy rock climbing.
