Rock and Ice Climbing
Climbing can be as safe or as dangerous as you want it to be. I prefer safe. If you want to take up climbing, take the time to learn from an experienced climber or guide. Any route information contained in this page is subject to errors and or change. In climbing you are responsible for your own safety. Climb Safe.
My favorite places to climb are Red Rocks NV, Seneca Rocks WVa, the New River Gorge WVa, Red River Gorge KY, and a obscure local climbing area affectionately called the Darkside. Here is some information and pictures about these areas:
