What our Team (Parents) are saying
PRG also has unique and well-established camping/outdoor climbing trips, which are NOT TO BE MISSED. Our kids would live down there all summer if they could (and had enough clean underwear).
The camaraderie of the climbing team and incredible dedication and support provided by the coaches cannot be overstated.
...it's amazing how much confidence Sarah has gained from climbing!
Members of Team PRG are expected to compete in events throughout the season, as well as attend a minimum of 2 nights of practice a week. Team members are also strongly encouraged to try and climb outside with us as much as possible!
Season
September – June
The fall and winter seasons focus more on bouldering and power. The spring and summer seasons are more rope and endurance focused.
Cost:
$1,390 for the season ($139 per month) + any gym membership.
Our “New” favorite destination, climbers will be able to test their technical abilities on some of the best sandstone on the planet!
Located in Fayetteville, WV, the New River Gorge is one of the best climbing areas on the East Coast! With over 3000 routes to choose from–great top-roping, lead climbing, and bouldering–the New has the greatest variety of routes, for all skill levels, of any climbing area in the country. Skills covered include basic rappelling, knot tying, and basic rope skills, leave no trace hiking and camping ethics, and general outdoor climbing safety.
Climbers will also, of course, have a chance to test their climbing skills on real rock, learning improved technique and a repertoire of moves that will improve their overall ability and confidence as climbers.
*We recommend all of our younger, less experienced climbers aim for weeks 1 or 2
