Reaching New Heights at Suas Climbing Centre

Day 2 of the Great Aviva Road Trip

The morning kicked off with a visit to Suas Climbing Centre, where the Riddetts were greeted by John, their enthusiastic guide for the day.

John started them out with a “basic” 10-meter climb, and while that might have seemed daunting at first, the Riddetts embraced the challenge with open arms (and strong grips!). Everyone had a go at the initial climb, but it wasn’t long before Emma and Alex left Steve and Michelle far behind, racing up the walls with ease.

The kids quickly advanced to more challenging overhanging walls, showing off their newfound climbing skills. Steve and Michelle couldn’t have been prouder, even if they did find themselves watching from below a little more often than they expected! The experience was full of laughter, excitement, and a bit of healthy competition. As they wrapped up their climbing adventure, the family agreed that this was something they would definitely be doing again in the future.
