About this video:

So what do you do when the mountain is closed in Ohakune and it’s too much of a rainy day to go mountain biking? Do some indoor rock climbing in Ohakune!

If you have been following our daily travel vlog where we are doing 365 Days: 365 Activities in New Zealand, you will see that we try to do just that! But with the weather ruining all our plans, we are left racking our brains on what to do in Ohakune when the mountain is closed. What can we do in Ohakune on a rainy day? We ponder this over some board games in the hostel, before hitting the toen of Ohakune looking for something to do on a rainy day. We find just the place...

Cheap, fun, challenging and indoors, the SLR Vertigo Climbing Centre is the perfect activity for when the mountain is closed in Ohakune! We check out the clip n’ climb indoor climbing wall with so many different climbing walls to challenge yourself with. The Vertigo Climbing Centre or indoor climbing wall at Ohakune is open until quite late so we really make the most of that time. 

After that, we have worked up an appetite which is perfect in the après ski town of Ohakune where there are plenty of bars and eateries. We treat ourselves to a gourmet burger. 

So what do you think of the indoor climbing wall in Ohakune? Is it something you would try if the mountain was closed in Ohakune?
