Description

The Shawangunk Mountains, located only 1 1/2 hours north of New York City, are a legendary spot for rock climbing. In this half-day outing you will get to the top of one of its major cliffs, SkyTop, with an expert guide.

The Gunks, also known as the Shawangunk Mountains or the Shawangunk Ridge, extend from northern New Jersey to the Catskill Mountains. They are part of the Appalachian Mountains, which stretch from Newfoundland, Canada to central Alabama, U.S.

This is a 3.5 hour tour in one of the most popular rock climbing spots in the United States. The SkyTop cliff is owned by the Mohonk Mountain House and has more than 300 routes ranging from 50 to 150 feet.

If you have no climbing experience at all, and also if you want to improve your techniques, in SkyTop we will find the perfect route for you. Two of the stellar climbs in this area are Foops (5.11) and Super Crack (5.12+).

So, if you are up for this half-day rock climbing outing in SkyTop, request your booking! We’ll be glad to help you climb this impressive wall.

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.
