With the increasing popularity of climbing gyms and the addition of climbing to the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, interest is booming. Here are some U.S. rock climbing spots that are welcome to newer climbers.
Horse Pens 40, Steele, Alabama
These natural rock shelters in the Appalachian foothills are renowned for their bouldering, a type of rock climbing without ropes and safety belts. It’s one of the top bouldering spots in the United States, a very unique little ecosystem there. Located about an hour north of Birmingham, it’s particularly popular in the fall when it hosts the final event.
Bishop, California
This area on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains offers a series of climbing options: bouldering; sport climbing, which uses anchors(锚) permanently fixed in the rock; and traditional climbing, which has climbers using removable protection devices.
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
It’s possible to climb Grand Teton, the towering peak(山峰) which gives its name to the park. A guided trip up the 13,770-foot mountain requires several climbing disciplines, but offers an incredible reward: a view of 14 different mountain ranges in four states.
Smith Rock State Park, Oregon
Located about 25 miles north of Bend, this spot became popular in the 1980s and is considered the birthplace of American sport climbing, Santella says. The world’s top climbers come to try the difficult routes here. It also has a large climbing community with instructors and guides.
