Adventure At Heights 

Climbing activities aren’t just about you having a go. There is are important elements of trust and cooperation that have to be present for a successful climb. If the climber does not trust the belayer or the equipment they can not climb their best, alternatively if there is a lack of communication, focus and cooperation between the belayer and the climber the belayer is not going to be able to keep the climber safe.
Being Trustworthy is another theme in Climbing activities. Trust is given and earned it does not just happen.
The belayer especially needs to show that they are doing a good job, focusing on the climber and the task at hand to earn the trust of the climber.

THE BIG DIPPER (INDOOR SWING)
Our 6m swing is an activity that pushes riders outside their comfort zone. The other participants are responsible for manning the haul line to pull the rider up to the heights. They have to work together and be careful to listen to the rider and stop at the height the rider chooses. The rider then has to have the courage to pull the release and allow the swing to break free.
This activity has a high factor of perceived risk and it can be incredibly empowering for the participants to break through the fear barrier and realise that they are safe and even have fun!!
Skills taught personal challenge, teamwork, peer support

Peer support and encouragement as well as trust in the instructor and infrastructure are big factors in success.
Skills taught are self-belay, peer support, personal challenge.
