We’ve got a lot of rocks here at NROCKS, and only so many of them are included on our Via Ferrata!

Maybe you’ve been climbing at your local gym and are ready to start your journey into climbing on natural rock, or maybe you’ve conquered your fear of heights on the Via Ferrata and are looking for a new challenge. No matter the situation, look no further than Top Rope Climbing at NROCKS! We offer a wide array of top rope programs to our guests, so whether it’s a group of scouts new to climbing or a group of experienced climbing friends, we have an option for you!

Why choose NROCKS for your Top Rope climbing introduction?

We are unique in many ways. Most prominent of those ways is that we own our rock, so you will not be pressured by other groups vying for the same route. We are also extremely accessible – some of our best top roping is only a short hike minutes from our Welcome Center. To top it off we offer a wide arrange of lodging options on site to continue the adventure.

With a ratio of 1 instructor for every 6 participants, our certified instructors will have plenty of time to teach the basics within a customized program to fit your needs. From individuals to scout groups we can design an educational program based on your goals that is both safe and challenging.

The climber is protected from falling by having a rope attached to their harness that is also connected to an anchor system above them.
