Course Information

No experience is necessary, and all the technical equipment is provided as part of the course cost. Our experienced, professional rock climbing guides, many of whom are parents themselves, will create the perfect outing for your family, regardless of age or fitness level.

Family Rock Climbing is available 7 days a week. Times will vary, but we usually meet at 8:30AM and finish up around 4PM for full days. If there are scheduling considerations at your end (and we know there can be with children), we’re glad to take those into account.

Because we charge a flat fee for your group, there’s no risk in bringing along someone who is less enthusiastic than others in the group; everyone climbs as much or as little as they like, with no pressure!

Is one person in the family still a toddler and too young to climb? No need to find childcare, just bring ’em along and the parents can take turns watching the youngest while the other parent climbs.

Mountains, Cliffs, & Routes

There are many different cliffs and route choices that work well for rock climbing with families in the White Mountains. We typically decide (with your input) on a location when we meet in the morning. That decision will involve discussing your goals and experience, checking the forecast, and a number of other variables. These popular cliffs in the general North Conway area offer great family climbs:

  • Cathedral Ledge
  • Whitehorse Ledge
  • Square Ledge
  • various cliffs off the Kancamagus
