Rock Climbing Day Trips

Fox Mountain Guides offers rock climbing day trips throughout Western North Carolina and across the Southeast 12 months a year. These are custom trips that cater to everyone from beginning climbers looking to try rock climbing for the first time to Boy Scout groups seeking to fulfill rock climbing merit badge requirements and intermediate and advanced climbers who want to climb multi-pitch routes.

Beginner’s trips are for people who have never tried outdoor rock climbing or for those who are more experienced but just want to do single pitch top-roping.  Whether you are completely new to climbing, lead 5.12 in a gym but have never experienced climbing on real rock, or are a more experienced outdoor climber who just wants a fun day of top-roping, our AMGA certified instructors will set up climbs appropriate for your ability level . All Beginner's climbs are single pitch climbs, but can be any grade of difficulty you like. They can be held at most of the locations we guide.
