Fayetteville, West Virginia — New River Gorge
Ridgeline Climbing Co. is base camp for your days in the New River Gorge — day passes, intro classes, rental gear and guided trips, all under one roof.
01 — The pack list
Six ways to start at Ridgeline. Book ahead or sort it out at the desk — either way, someone here will tell you exactly what you need.
Your run of the gym for a day. Walk in, tie in and climb — no membership needed and no fuss at the desk.
Get a day pass →Never touched a wall before? Start here. Small groups, real instruction, and enough time on the wall to make it stick.
Book an intro class →Shoes, harness, helmet and the rest of the kit — on the rack, cleaned and ready. Travel light and still climb properly.
See the rack →Coached sessions and steady progression for young climbers who want to train, not just play.
Ask about the team →Hand the gym over to your crew for a birthday they'll remember. We run the climbing, you bring the cake.
Plan a party →Take it onto real rock with someone who knows the approach, the routes and the weather in the gorge.
Plan a guided trip →02 — Gear rental
You don't need your own rack to climb here. Rental gear is kept clean, sorted and ready to go, in sizes for first-timers and for climbers who flew in without a bag.
Not sure what you need? Tell us where you're headed and we'll build the kit around it.
03 — Learn the ropes
Built for people who have never tied in — and for anyone who wants to start over with good habits. You'll get the gear, the knots and the belay, then put it together on the wall.
Get fitted for shoes and harness, learn what each piece of kit actually does, and tie in properly.
How the rope works, how to hold it, and how to look after the person on the other end of it.
Time on easy terrain to make it real — and a clear idea of what to work on next session.
A season with the team means coached sessions, steady progression and a crew of kids who are just as obsessed as yours is.

04 — Guided outdoor trips
The gorge is the reason we're here. Guided trips put you on real rock with someone who knows the approach, the routes and the weather — gear and beta included.
05 — Base camp
Tell us what you're after and we'll get you set up — a day pass for today, a spot in the next intro class, rental gear for the weekend, or a guided day in the gorge.
