Basecamp Wanaka Climbing Centre — Attraction in South Island

Basecamp is an incredible indoor venue for all levels of climbing interest and passion .as well as a great outdoor climb guiding / teaching service .

The staff were helpful and courteous , along with a practical and appropriate approach to suggesting gear when interested in new equipment . ( it was more important to staff to equip me as a climber then it would be to sell me something above or below my interest )

I partook in a private climb guiding service and the amount of skill, technique and approach I gained from it exceeded all of my expectations . Big kudos to Loz for his teaching skills and leadership, you're a solid asset to basecamp, the sport of climbing is lucky to have you engaged in it .

Highly recommend...

Friendly staff, and fun climbing gym. There are self belayers on a very easy wall for kids, and adults. There is also a good climbing wall with enough routes to keep the beginner to advanced climbers happy (we climb from about 5.6 to 5.10, but there is harder stuff too). They do not require a belay class, they just ask to make sure you know what you are doing, and watch a little at first to be sure you are safe. This is a chill atmosphere, and in the same building with a small theater and pub! We didn't this time, but if we were here longer, we probably would have had a climbing and movie day.

Also, their logo is awesome. I don't buy many shirts showing business names, but this was was too...

Very nice facilities. I've just use the boulder cave, it's very small but only 8,50$ ! If like me you're on a road trip and you just need to keep fit and climb a little bit it's enough. You have a slab wall, spray wall and finger board with some training exemple on side, very useful. I've created 2 boulders (you can see them on the pic) the red one is around V4/5 (6B/C) and the blue one V5 (6C). You start on holds with the "S" and you finish both hand on the hold with "F". I'm not a route setter or anything just a passionate climber so the grades may not be very accurate, juste try them and have fun ! I haven't try the route wall but it...
