Have you ever considered Kuwait rock climbing but weren’t sure where or how to start? We went ahead and compiled a list of answers to the questions brewing in your mind on what to do as a beginner. 

First, what is rock climbing?

Rock climbing is a recreational sport that can be done both indoors and outdoors. You can do it solo (also called ‘solo climbing’ by seasoned rock climbers), or you can do it with a partner. In this article, we will focus on indoor rock climbing.

Why should you start indoor rock climbing?

Indoor rock climbing is best suited if you do not want the unforgiving rays of the sun or sudden rainfall to disrupt your activity. It keeps you free from harsh weather conditions. 

You may lack the view that an outdoor climb would provide but a soft landing awaits you in case you lose your grip. 

I am afraid of heights. Is it suitable for me?

If you are afraid of heights, don’t fret. There are varying difficulties of rock walls perfect for beginners and the more advanced climbers.

If you cannot go higher than 5 ft., try SuperPark’s Augmented Digital Wall. This wall has incorporated digital elements with different kinds of games to add more challenge without the intimidating height factor.  

It’s my first time. Do you have a guide?

If it is your first time, a trainer or a guide will assist you in everything that you should know. They will also serve as your lookout when you are lost on which rock to grab on to next.

Once you get used to it, you can ditch the guide and rock climb on your own. 

Is it safe?

Absolutely! All equipment passes through inspections to ensure safety. Professional grade ropes and harnesses are used. Rubber mats are laid on the ground to assure a safe landing. 

A guide will also be there to assist you if it is your first time doing rock climbing.

Is it safe for kids?

Kids must be at least 100cm or 3”3’ for SuperPark’s Super Climb walls. If your child is shorter than that, you can try SuperPark’s Augmented Digital Wall where children of all ages can enjoy rock climbing without any height restriction.

What do I need to wear?

Avoid very loose clothing because this may be tangled in the ropes. Remove any jewelry like hoop earrings and long necklaces which may also get caught in the equipment. Wear shorts, pants, long-sleeved tops if you can, but a short-sleeved shirt will do just fine. 

What are the benefits of rock climbing?

Rock climbing gives you more than a workout. It is also beneficial for your overall health. It encourages problem-solving for your mind. It helps improve coordination, serves as stress relief, and gives you a sense of confidence and satisfaction when you reach the top!
