Rock Climb Social At NH Climbing & Fitness

Join the AMC-NH Mountaineering Committee for a Social Climb at NH Climbing & Fitness! This monthly event welcomes climbers of all skill levels and is a fantastic way to connect with fellow climbers in the area.

The gym offers a variety of climbing options, including lead climbing, top rope, auto-belay, and bouldering. If you plan to lead or top rope, a quick belay test may be required if you haven't already taken one. Please note that, due to gym guidelines, we won't be able to provide belay instruction at this event. All climbers are welcome to join us, but please note that without prior belay experience, bouldering and auto-belay may be the best options. If you're interested in learning belay skills, reach out to us-we'd be happy to share some helpful resources!

AMC is not charging for this event, and non-members of NH Climbing & Fitness can enjoy a discounted day pass for $18, including rentals.
