ROCK CLIMBING IN WEST VIRGINIA
Rock climbing and rappelling adventures have become some of our most popular New River Gorge Adventure Center activities. The New River Gorge and Gauley River Canyon recreation areas offer some of the best rock climbing terrain in the eastern U.S.

With over 4,000 unique rock climbing routes and expert AMGA certified climbing guides, all skill levels are easily addressed so that anyone can give this sport a try. From Bridge Buttress to Junkyard, Endless Wall to Bubby City, Summerville Lake to Beauty Mountain, you’ve got many routes to choose from and lots of rock climbing terrain to practice on.

Many people think you have to be in excellent physical condition to enjoy rock climbing but this just isn't true! We have designed our climbing clinics to focus on fun and recreation, not difficult routes. Climbing trips can be enjoyed by anyone, even children as young as eight.

We offer numerous recreational climbing trips for all skill levels. Our most popular trip is an evening “Sunset” rappel. Gravity does all the work in rappelling! We also offer half-day and full-day  guided climbing trips with easy routes and lots of rappelling.

Perhaps you'd prefer more technical climbs or private instruction from our experienced rock climbing experts? We only hire AMGA certified Top Rope Site Managers and AMGA certified single Pitch Instructors.  We can customize your trip to include more technical routes and or advanced skills.  We also offer Rock Climbing Instructional Classes  such as Basic Top Roping, Traditional Lead Climbing, Multi-pitch Climbing, Self Rescue for climbers and  AMGA Single Pitch Instructor certification.

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 had to head home shortly after the group returned from rafting and didn't get to properly relay our thanks and appreciation to Doug Boyles, our raft guide on the Gauley Gauntlet on Sunday, October 12th. Hope you can share this with him as he really deserves kudos for his superb navigation he steered us into class act rapids, negotiated some fun raft tricks and didn't have a single involuntary swimmer! Go Doug!! and his apparent friend, Lady Luck His extensive knowledge of the river made us confident rafters and we felt safe despite some pretty intimidating rapids. Doug has a great sense of humor as can be told by his patience with my husband's quirky humor! ha ha, and knows how to provide a good time! Doug is a "keeper" guide and we highly recommend him! Hope to see him on another trip next year! Keep up the good work. Cheers! Judi Kuhl and Art Cammers
