Description

The Gunks -also known as Shawangunk Ridge- offer a lot of high quality routes for all skill levels. In this full-day tour you will climb on one of its most popular areas, SkyTop, under expert guidance.

The Shawangunk Mountains are one of the most popular rock climbing areas in the United States. Located in the state of New York, this ridge is part of the Appalachian Mountains and is the northern end of a longer ridge that begins in Virginia.

In this full-day trip we will have an amazing rock climbing experience on SkyTop, a major cliff of the Gunks which offers more than 300 routes ranging from 50 to 150 feet.

This rock is mainly a silica-cemented conglomerate of white quartz and sandstone. It offers climbing routes for beginners, intermediate and advanced climbers. We will find the perfect itinerary for you to have a fun and challenging climbing outing.

Two of the stellar climbs on SkyTop are Foops (5.11) and Super Crack (5.12+).

The Gunks are also known for their biodiversity, with oak, pine, and hemlock forests, lakes, streams and marshes. Upon these rocks you will enjoy staggering views.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
