Year-Round Rock Climbing Is Now Available At ‘CLIMB • Stratton Rocks and Boulders’

We are excited to be offering our first ever indoor Rock Climbing experience here at Stratton Mountain. ‘CLIMB • Stratton Rocks and Boulders’ opened it’s doors to the public this past Saturday and it’s already a big hit. Located in the Village two doors down from Bar 802 and across from the Real Estate Office, our new rock climbing gym is extremely accessible for those visiting the resort. Phase 1 (yes, there is more to come) features 15 auto-belay routes that reach 25 feet in height along with a mellow bouldering section giving plenty of room for you and your friends or family to get after it on the wall. Time slots are 60 minutes long which allows you plenty of time to hit each route and then some. Before you begin climbing, one of our trained CLIMB Employees will walk you through the whole process from start to finish – there are no dumb questions so be sure to ask away before you get going.
