Trip Description

Gym to Rock Climbing Clinic

What better place than the New River Gorge to make the transition from gym climbing to real rock climbing? This full-day course takes what you've learned in a man-made setting and adapts it to natural rock. Gym climbing may use many of the same moves as rock climbing but if you ask anyone who climbs, they will tell you that there is a difference.

If this is your first outdoor climbing experience, you can build upon what you learned here with a Learn the Ropes Clinic, then after you've practiced your new skills you can return for a Personalized Clinic or one of our Lead Climbing Clinics.

Our ACE rock climbing guides focus on route selection, efficient movement, and foot and hand placement using a variety of rock types from cracks to friction. This is a full day trip and a deli lunch is included.
