About the program
If you want to try rock climbing, this program is perfect for you. You’ll learn the basics of rock climbing techniques and climb your first routes on real rocks.
The rock climbing season in Almaty runs from late March to November. In spring and autumn, we climb in the steppe on the Tamgaly Tas rocks near the Ili River. In summer it becomes too hot there, so we head to the mountains - Tuyuk-Su or Butakovskiy waterfall. We will choose a location for the program based on the current season and weather conditions.
