Via Ferrata Gear Hire Form

Please fill in one form per person and set.

The Via Ferrata Climbing Gear kit consists of one harness with a shock-absorbing lanyard and a helmet.

There is no fee for climbing the Via Ferrata on Takaka Hill. It is publicly accessible and free for everyone to use.

The Via Ferrata was designed to be suitable for the everyday person - with families in mind. You don't need to have previous climbing experience. Anyone with a moderate fitness and a sense for adventure may attempt to climb it. Kids from the age of 12 seem to have great fun up there - though younger kids may still go if accompanied. We recommend a skilled caregiver to additionally belay any kids younger than 10.

I confirm that I will only use the gear to climb the Via Ferrata on Takaka Hill and that I will not use it in any commercial activity. I understand that a guided tour where the guide is receiving payment is a commercial activity.

I have explained the nature of my trip and my intended use of the gear I wish to hire (namely climbing the Via Ferrata). I agree that the gear provided is fit for those purposes and is of acceptable quality.
