Rock Climbing
We operate daily in the Gunks and Adirondacks for climbers of all ages and ability levels for full and half day sessions.
Ice Climbing
In winter, we operate daily in the Catskills and Adirondacks, as well as offer trips to areas like the Mount Washington Valley, Smuggler’s Notch and other areas around the Northeast.
Alpine Climbing
Join us on one of our annual trips to the North Cascades National Park, Rocky Mountain Nation Park, and other areas for some unforgettable mountain time.
Hiking
Come and explore some of the treasures the Hudson Valley has to offer. We offer guides hikes to all abilities. From gentle strolls exploring vistas and waterfalls, rock scrambling on trails you will want to bring your friends and family on, hikes to unique locations deep in the woods, to remote areas requiring some navigation and bushwhacking. We operate all season and use snowshoes or microspikes in the winter as needed.
“I had an amazing climbing experience in the Gunks. It was my first time climbing outdoors and I can’t wait to go again.”
