ROCK CLIMBING IN WEST VIRGINIA

new river gorge west virginia rock climbingRock climbing and rappelling adventures have become some of our most popular On The Gorge 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 Bubba City, Summersville 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.new river gorge west virginia

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.new river gorge west virginia rock climbing

Thank You Rivermen! As we travel back to Florida, and put an end to our 2008 Gauger vacation, all 11 of us are reflecting on the 14 day RV excursion. Hands Down, the time we spent at Rivermen was the best. Many Thanks to Eddie Skaggs and Johnny Friend for the wonderful trip they gave on the Upper and Lower New river. They and their team were the best, givng us details along the river and delighting us with their personalities. It is rare to experience something in 1 day, that makes you feel like you have been a part of it for years, the guides and staff at Rivermen gave us that experience. My husband, Tom and I work for a large entertainment company with ears in Central Florida, we strive to give quality personal experiences that stay with you for a lifetime. The experience at Rivermen, whether it was on the river, at the camp site, down by the Lodge, or Brian escorting Grandma to and from in the golf cart, we had that quality personal experience that will last a lifetime. Hope to be back soon!
