The Mount Washington Valley, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, are inarguably home to some of the best rock climbing in the country. The granite is spectacular. There is terrain here for the beginner on their first day out, and the expert alike. We offer a fully flexible range of guided days, most determined in a one-on-one conversation about past experience and goals. The first job of a guide is to pick the best terrain for that person, a skill developed through years of experience, but we are also happy to be a rope gun for a dream climb. New Hampshire’s mountains are a great training ground and an end in themselves.
