New Hampshire Rock Climbing
Steeped in history and tradition, the rock climbing in New Hampshire is some of the finest on the East Coast. Cathedral Ledge, Whitehorse Ledge, Cannon Cliff, Rumney… these areas are both a training and a testing ground for local and visiting climbers alike.
The greater North Conway area boasts spectacular granite and incredible terrain that is well suited for both the beginner on their first day out and the expert on their hardest route yet. We offer a fully flexible range of guided days, most determined in a one-on-one conversation about past experience and goals.
