The
Climbing Wall
Rock climbing is an exciting and challenging route to fitness
where solving problems becomes a matter of strength, finesse
and flexibility of both the mind and body. As a sport climbing
is a great equalizer between men and women, the young and
old as the challenge it presents is unique to each person.
Climbing is an excellent bonding activity of trust and
responsibility suitable for families, couples and those
interested in meeting other adventurous people.
The Airport Health Club is offering a full range of climbing
programs to members and the community offered by expert
climbing instructors eager to make climbing both accessible
and fun for you. The Climbing Staff invites and encourages

is up to you, but we’ll do our best to make your
