Rock Climbing

We operate daily upon reservation in the Gunks and the Adirondacks, as well as offer guided trips to other areas across the country.

We custom tailor the day based on the needs and experience level of your party, in addition to regular climbing/guiding days, we can offer a day or days covering:

• Basic climbing skills

• Climbing routes of your choice*

• Climbing outing with family, friends and/or co-workers

• Technical Skill Instruction such as:

  • top rope setups

  • gear placement and anchor building

  • leading

  • self rescue

  • big wall

  • special request skills

We provide you with your own private guide(s) based on your party size. We operate up to a 4:1 climber to guide ratio for most situations, sometimes we can operate up to a 6:1 ratio for special groups and/or non-profits depending on location.

We provide loan of all technical equipment if needed - helmet, harness, and rock shoes - and the daily park passes required unless otherwise specified. 

Rates are dependent on the party size, all rates are based per person and may vary depending on location.

The typical rock climbing season runs from April through mid-December, however we also climb rock on warm days throughout the winter when its forecast to be above 40 degrees, and sunny, and also offer a Winter Rock Skills program where we shorten the day to when the sun is typically on the cliff (10am-2pm) were we offer technical skills like gear placement, anchor building, ascending, self-rescue, and more.

For the Gunks, we are the only guide service authorized to operate across the Shawangunk Ridge at all of the three areas:
