Climb the world’s highest waterfall cable climb in Wanaka or, try our Climb & Canyon experience.

Lord of the Rungs:

Lord of the Rungs is the world’s highest waterfall cable climb.  Reaching the top will take you through 450m of vertical terrain.

With 3 levels to choose from, there are options to suit the ability of every adventurer.  No experience is needed on any of our climbs.

The 'Via Ferrata' climbing route is built with steel rungs and cables that are fixed to the rock.  It allows safe travel through vertical terrain which would otherwise be impossible.
 
  • Level 1 takes you into the canyon, traversing and climbing, crossing 4 suspension bridges, suitable for all adventures. 
  • Level 2 is where the vertical starts, climbing over 300 vertical meters alongside the waterfall.
  • Level 3 is for the bravest! Very steep overhung sections require good physical fitness, taking you to the very top, you are rewarded with a helicopter ride back to base. 

Conquer the highest waterfall cable climb in the world. Options for all adventurers. 
Suitable for beginners.  All tours are guided.
Minimum requirements 40kg-120kg & 120cm tall.

Climb & Canyon:

Start by climbing the Level 1 cable climb, then join a cliffside trail to the nextdoor waterfall.  Here you will get up close and personal with the waterfall by abseiling/rappelling the lower section of right-hand Twin Falls Waterfalls.  You will be supported by an experienced guide the entire time and you will learn climbing and abseil skills on this trip.

No previous abseiling or climbing experience is required, but good fitness is.
