The Outdoor Skills programs are an important facet at Learning Adventures. While we enjoy sharing the adventure experience with others, we believe that there is a real need to develop different skills in the outdoor environment. Our aim is to introduce safe, reliable and quality outdoor skills learning modules catering to beginners as well as future outdoor leaders.
Our Outdoor Skills programs:
For quite a long time, rock climbing was only seen as a part of mountaineering, where mountaineers would climb routes to prepare themselves for a climbing expedition. Today, rock climbing is recognized as a sport where a participant would have to climb the natural steep rocky formation. Now, experience rock climbing and abseil practices on Bukit Takun, in preparation for a multipitch climb to the top, then a vertical abseil off the 30m ledge! (More on RIE)
