Guided Climbing Instruction

The MRG Climbing School staff is committed to helping you achieve your climbing goals in a friendly and safe manner. Our goal is to work with each individual climber to help them extend their skills and experience. We offer various programs to help meet the needs of each individual and group. Our specialty is teaching the fundamentals to those who are new to climbing, and help them to learn more advanced aspects of the sport. Our staff is certified by the American Mountain Guides Association, so you can be sure that you are getting the highest level of instruction when under our supervision. Most of our climbing takes place at many wonderful sites throughout New Hampshire and Maine. Areas frequented are Cathedral Ledge, Whitehorse Ledge, Square Ledge, Jockey’s Cap and many others. We work in cooperation with the permit systems required in both states. At the end of the day, you will have experienced a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable day on the rocks.

Outdoor Rock Climbing Programs

1/2 Day Introduction to Climbing

This course is designed for those new to the sport of rock climbing. It is perfect for individuals, or small groups who have no prior experience. We provide all necessary equipment and a professional instructor to help you experience an enjoyable day outdoors rock climbing. This course is perfect for those who have been through the Introductory Rock Climbing course in the gym.

One Day Guided Top Rope Climbing

If you are new to the sport or have had some experience rock climbing, this is the course for you! Given one’s level of prior experience, we will tailor your day of climbing to suit your skill level. Having a full day outside provides us with the opportunity to experience different types of climbing, while focusing more on each individual’s technique and growth.

Two day Climbing Adventure

Enjoy a fun filled two days of challenging top rope climbing at two separate areas. Your participation will bring you to a higher level of understanding and adventure than our 1/2 day or 1 day course. Our 2-day program allows for more personal instruction to help you advance your skills on the rock. In addition to improving your climbing, you will observe your guide rigging anchors, climb on different types of rock, be taught the fundamentals of repelling, and get to experience several repels.
