Rock Climbing Team
What we do
The Veterans Adventure Group Rock Climbing Team hosts free instructional clinics and community climbs for veterans in the Southeastern US. Most of our events happen at the New River Gorge in Fayetteville, WV, although we do occasionally take them on the road. Whether you are an experienced climber looking to meet new climbing partners and join a community of like-minded veterans or a complete beginner unsure of how to get started, our Climbing Team has a place for you.
Every event is led by an AMGA-certified Instructor, Wilderness First Responder and Army veteran who is volunteering his time to provide quality instruction and a safe experience for all. All events and clinics are free to attend and participants are welcome to bring their own gear or use our equipment.
Rock Climbing, especially in an outdoor environment, can be a difficult sport to break into due to the gear, technical skills involved and the lack of easy- to-access formal training. In our experience, veterans as a group generally excel in adventure sports and extreme outdoor events such as rock climbing, but the presence of veterans in the outdoor industry and community is very low. For all of us on the Climbing Team, rock climbing has become a life-changing passion and we want to make outdoor recreation in general and climbing in particular more accessible for every veteran who comes after us. Some of our participants have gone on to a new career in climbing, others have found a new hobby - our goal is that everyone finds community and comradery together.
