The youngest climbers start at five years of age. All climbers climb on a top rope which makes climbing very safe. With this method the rope is thread through a pulley at the top so the climber is always protected from falling. The benefit of the tower is that routes can be changed and altered regularly. Presently there is no possibility to hire rock climbing shoes to visitors as this is a personal item.
Beginners can climb bare foot or with tight fitting shoes.
One day is spent training before the summit climb. The Spitzkoppe summit climb requires approx. The actual climb covers 588 meters from the base of the mountain. Meeting at the Spitzkoppe, transport, camping equipment and food will be provided on request. For groups larger than 6 climbers 3 months in advance notice is required.
