The ultimate thrill of the world's highest waterfall rope climbing!

About 1 hour drive from Queenstown, there is a beautiful outdoor town - Wanaka. The town skis in winter and has a variety of activities in summer, including hiking, lake activities, rock climbing and more.

Blind guess to travel to New Zealand friends have missed this Wanaka Falls rock climbing (fly Lada) ~ summer when playing the middle level, now New Zealand winter cold to death or to play the high level hhh, the result is tired to go to a hot spring!

the world's highest waterfall rope climbing (Wild Wire-Lord of the Rungs). One word: exciting!

Features: No experience in rope climbing is required, suitable for all ages, the youngest in our group is only eight years old, can be fit, but to reach the highest point requires certain physical strength. Wild Wire will have the equipment, the entire safety harness, three safety straps on the rope at any time, across the waterfall, the drawbridge, the chain rope bridge.

The whole process is divided into four stages:

Preparation and testing phase: The guide first asks everyone to show their skills on several large rocks, lines up according to the test results and the guide assesses how high everyone can climb. The weakest follow the guide, like me, and then finally understand the importance of this arrangement, so that the guide can pull the top and pull the weakest safely up.

Lower Waterfall (Difficulty level: Low) : Open all year round

This one is the easiest, it takes almost no effort, it can reach a height of 150 meters, it will cross 4 suspension Bridges, and it takes 1 hour. After this stage, the wizard will confirm again which team members can proceed to the next stage. The climbing time at this stage is 1 hour, and an additional 20 minutes if you choose to walk down the mountain afterwards.

Middle Waterfall (Difficulty level: Medium) : Open from August to May

This stage goes up to a height of 320 meters, with better views, directly across the waterfall and across six suspension Bridges. After this stage is over, you cannot proceed to the next stage by following the guide on foot down the mountain. This stage of climbing for 2 hours, walking down the mountain for about 1 hour.

Waterfall High (Difficulty level: High) : Open from August to May

This stage will reach a height of 450 meters, including crossing the cable bridge, 7 suspension Bridges, this stage is physically demanding, if the previous stage is easily completed, this stage is not a problem. If the previous stage is difficult, even if the previous stage is completed, it is not recommended to enter this final stage. The climbing time of this stage is 2 hours, after the end, you can not walk down the mountain, you will take a helicopter down the mountain.

Unfortunately, we were too nervous to shoot a big movie. The foreigners in the team were hanging by ropes, with their hands and feet hanging in the air very cool.

Note:

Gloves with fingers exposed, especially on rainy days.

Hiking shoes, clothing as soon as possible to dry and warm.

A small backpack.

Sun protection, sunglasses.

Eating before climbing requires a certain amount of energy.

Climbing next to the magnificent waterfall, you can feel the splashing water mist of the waterfall, and at the foot of the unobstructed scenery, I feel that because of the multiple protection mechanisms, it is safer than ordinary hiking, the only disadvantage is that it is expensive [tears into laughter] otherwise I want to climb every day.
