Familie and Kids Rock Climbing Experience
The Rock of Geyikbayırı, located near Antalya, Turkey, is a world-class climbing destination that caters to climbers of all ages and skill levels. A family and kids climbing experience there can be both adventurous and memorable.
A climbing trip to Geyikbayırı provides an unforgettable mix of adventure, skill-building, and quality family time in a breathtaking natural setting.
A typical program for such a climbing day:
- Meeting at Sunclimbing Office
All family members try and get all the material needed for a climbing day, such as climbing shoes, harnesses, helmets, and ropes.
Water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, and a camera to capture memories. The kids might help by packing their favorite snacks or water bottles into their mini backpacks. - Heading to the Climbing Spot: Whether by car or a short hike, the journey to the crag becomes part of the adventure. Kids might spot birds, wildflowers, or unique rock formations along the way.
- Warm-Up & Orientation: The family starts with simple stretches and warm-ups. Parents explain the plan for the day, going over safety rules and ensuring everyone understands the importance of listening and teamwork.
- Kids Go First: Parents set up top ropes on beginner-friendly routes. The kids, with big grins, take their turns climbing while parents belay and cheer them on. For the younger ones, even reaching halfway is a victory!
- Parents’ Turn: While one parent climbs, the other supervises the kids. They might build mini rock cairns, explore nearby boulders, or snap photos of each other climbing.
- Snack Break: After a few climbs, everyone gathers for a snack. Healthy treats like trail mix, apples, or sandwiches provide energy, while the family relaxes in the shade, enjoying the scenery.
You don´t need any experience but you will have a lot of fun!
