need for your youth group to be “hanging” around when the New River
Gorge area offers some of the best rock climbing in the
East. Flexible to your groups’ needs, climbing is a great outlet and
confidence building adventure. There are well over 2,000 climbing routes
to choose from, routes range from 5.1 (easy) through 5.13 (extreme),
so it’s easy to find a route perfect for everyone in your group. And
as always, we offer rappelling classes - our most requested “youth”
climbing activity.

Climbing and Rappelling
Rock climbing and
rappelling have become our most popular Adventure Connection activities.
The New River Gorge and Gauley River Canyon recreation areas offer some
of the best rock climbing in the eastern U.S. With over 2000 unique
routes and expert climbing guides, all skill levels are easily addressed
so that anyone can give this sport a try. Many people think you have
to be in excellent physical condition to enjoy climbing. This just isn't
true! We have designed our programs to focus on fun and recreation,
not difficult routes. Climbing trips can be enjoyed by anyone, even
children as young as five.
Our
most popular trip is an evening rappel. Gravity does all the work in
rappelling! There are half-day and full-day trips with easy climbs and
lots of rappelling. Perhaps you'd prefer a more difficult trip or private
instruction from experts? Don't worry. We've got you covered. For a
truly exceptional experience, try our full day Rock Climbing/Pontoon
Boat Trip on Summersville Lake.
We highly
recommend seeing nature from this unique perspective during your stay
in West Virginia. We offer numerous climbing programs for all skill
levels.
