Rockstar Climbing is a project by One Step Further, a specialized outdoor activities company, dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences in Cyprus and abroad since 2002. One Step Further’s team of professionals has led the evolution and development of outdoor and adventure sports in Cyprus, the formation of an environmentally friendly attitude among Cypriots and the safe growth of rock climbing and mountaineering in Cyprus. In 2013 we held the first Kids Adventure Camp®, an authentic summer camp experience for children ages 9 to 14. The unique structure of the action-packed periods, our dedicated, professional team and the amazing location have made it the most popular authentic summer camp, providing sold-out periods every summer. Rockstar Climbing was established in January 2025.
