2025 Redpoint Road Trip: New River Gorge
$1745 June 15-21 | June 23-29 | August 3-9
Ages 12-17 | Co-ed | New River Gorge
Our team athlete road trip is an outdoor enrichment adventure for teen crushers to log time on the world-class boulders and sport climbs of the New River Gorge. This is a trip for serious climbers—we’ll focus on the technical systems and safety skills of outdoor climbing, technique and footwork coaching for real rock, and bouldering and sport climbing tactics—making the week a one-of-a kind opportunity for enthusiastic teen climbers to get even stronger while connecting with the outdoors.
After orientation and dropoff in the DC area, we’ll head to the New River Gorge, the nation’s newest National Park—home to miles of world-class boulders and sport and trad climbing. The New is famous for its relentlessly technical, thoughtful climbing and bullet-hard sandstone, making an ideal training ground for strong climbers looking to take their movement and footwork skills to the next level and learn strategy and tactics for route climbing, projecting, and a redpoint send.
Rest day activities include day hiking, splashing in local swimming holes, stargazing, and more.
