Climbing

The USNWC's climbing center features one of the largest outdoor climbing facilities in the world. Here, climbers ascend our walls to enjoy a birds-eye view of the whitewater rapids and the entire park.

Made to look and feel just like granite, the climbing walls offer over 40 roped climbs to accomodate many climbers and all skill levels. Our open-air 46-foot spire will challenge even the most advanced climber.

Beginner to advanced professional climbing instruction is available to introduce you to climbing or enhance your skills in belaying, climbing, repelling and bouldering. Check out our climbing instruction programs and self-belay packages or give us a call at (704) 391-3900 to arrange private instruction.
