Summer social climbing 2026! Get stoked!!

Wānaka Climbing Club run monthly social climbing evenings throughout summer (excluding January) They are usually on the first Thursday of the month, but dates are confirmed on the Facebook and our Instagram page.

These are a great way to get climbing outside, meet new climbing buddies, eat snacks in the sunshine and have fun! We try to have them at a few different crags throughout the summer, and car pool from town to make it easy for everyone to get there. 

The hosts, Kate and Karsten, are there to help match people up with climbing partners, get top ropes set up for people, suggest rad climbs, and of course share the stoke!

Whether it’s your first time climbing outside, or you’re a seasoned veteran, all abilities are welcome! Please note it is not an instruction session, so whilst we are happy to give tips and encouragement no formal instruction is given.  All activities are at your own risk.  Participants also have to bring their own shoes, harness and belay device (or borrow off a kind friend!!) The club provides some ropes and quick drawers, but these are limited to everyone is encouraged to bring all the gear they have!

So come join us – we look forward to seeing you there!!

Kate and Karsten and WCC
