Climbing Courses Near Boston

We offer a variety of rock climbing courses designed for all skill levels, including group classes that cover essential climbing skills. Learn how to rock climb, master climbing anchors, practice rappelling, develop rescue skills, and more.

These open enrollment climbing courses are scheduled on specific dates, running from 8am to 4pm (8 hours). Our small class sizes, with a 1:6 or 1:4 instructor-to-student ratio, ensure personalized attention. These courses provide a more affordable alternative to private climbing sessions, while still delivering expert guidance from our AMGA Certified instructors.

If you prefer a more customized experience, you can also book a private climbing day. During these sessions, we can cover the same topics as our courses, but tailored to your schedule and specific climbing goals. Perfect for you and a small group of friends!
