Description

It is a treat for any rock climber to scale the Seneca Rocks. Located in West Virginia and part of the famous Appalachian mountain range, this enormous rock formation offers a variety of fantastic walls and routes from which to climb them.

On this full day, private trip, you will get to spend hours scaling the Seneca Rocks to its summit. The approach from the trailhead to the rocks is very short, only approximately 10 to 25 minutes. As a result, the climb begins almost immediately after you arrive.

When it comes to how you climb the Seneca Rocks, there are many different ways. Those ways include t_rad climbing, top rope climbing, mixed climbing_ and multi-pitch climbing. And because the lengths of the walls ranges from 30 to 300 meters, and from 1 to 6 pitches, like chess moves on the board, there is an abundance of options. Furthermore, due to that variety, no matter your skill level, regardless if you are a beginner or expert, we will find the perfect climbing route fro you.

We like to keep our private groups small. We do that because we believe it is important to provide quality and attentive instruction, as opposed to general observation. As a result, we are confident that whenever you have questions, or encounter difficulties, we will be there to help you and assist you in any possible. Hence ensuring you have a safe, fun and memorable climbing experience.

About the guide

Blue Ridge

Rock Climbing Instructor

My name is Grant, and I serve as the head guide for the Blue Ridge Mountain Guides. We are based in Virginia, where I grew up climbing rock and ice, constantly searching for my next big adventure.

While I enjoy all types of climbing, I have to admit that I favor ice and trad. As much as I love climbing, I am equally dedicated to teaching. I have always had a great passion for sharing my love of this sport and the mountains with others. As a teacher, I am laid back, patient and adaptive in my teaching style. I strive to convey information and skills to my students in a way that easy to understand and retain.

I am certified by the American Mountain Guides Association as a Rock Instructor, Single Pitch Instructor and Climbing Wall Instructor. I hold a Wilderness First Responder Certification and am also an AIARE Level I Avalanche Course Instructor and Leave No Trace Trainer.

Blue Ridge Mountain Guides is also an AMGA SPI Assistant Provider.

When it gets too cold to climb back home, you can usually find me ice climbing and skiing in Utah, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
