Vertical Playground Ltd – Indoor Climbing Adventure Centre

Ray, Belinda and the team from Vertical Playground with their indoor climbing facility have committed to support the Northland LSAR Cliff Rescue team in providing an indoor training facility within Whangarei City at no charge.

This support and facility allows closer personal ‘one to one’ training on vertical structures in a clean environment minimizing ‘rescue gear’ wear and tear.
While not taking away the practical outdoor experience on a rock face, this allows refining of crucial rope skills, team building, and practice in confined spaces working around support structures with haul systems.
This is crucial in maintaining the high skill-base, and team confidence of current cliff team members and also provides a ‘up-skill’ pathway for those looking to join the Northland Search and Rescue Cliff Rescue squad.

Prospective members are generally people who are over the age of eighteen years old, have an interest in the outdoors, have some level of fitness, a desire to help others, be able to work as part of a team, and above all, have values which include integrity, and honesty. There are a limited number of other support roles which does not require quite so high a level of fitness. NLSAR operate 24/7 (24hours/day 7 days/week), frequently in stormy arduous conditions in the middle of the night.
