The New River Gorge in West Virginia is one of the East’s most dramatic canyons, famed for its roaring whitewater, the annual “Bridge Day” BASE-jumping spectacle, and above all, its world-class climbing. Unlike Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, the New offers an equal draw for both trad and sport climbers. Its bullet-hard Nuttall Sandstone, tougher than granite, is split with perfect cracks for traditionalists, while its walls also host some of the finest sport climbing anywhere. Expect everything from technical testpieces that demand precision and creativity to wildly overhanging sectors packed with big, powerful moves.
This volume, covering the Main Gorge, is your complete guide to the canyon’s core climbing. Inside, you’ll find detailed beta for more than 1,900 routes spread across pristine sandstone walls. Classic areas include Kaymoor, Bubba City, Beauty Mountain, Junkyard, Bridge Buttress, Fern, and the legendary Endless Wall. For those willing to venture further, crags like South Nuttall, Domino Point, Sunshine Buttress, Keeney’s Buttress, Ambassador Buttress, and Cotton Top deliver equally unforgettable climbing. With this guide in hand, you’ve got a lifetime of adventure waiting in the Gorge.
