For the experienced, we’d recommend a pit stop at Water Stone Outdoors for beta and local climbing guide books-as well as some great espresso drinks from its Range Coffee bar in the back of the store. If you consider yourself a beginner, head out with an outfitter like Adventures on the Gorge, which runs half- and full-day climbing trips for adventures of all ages, levels, and abilities. Although the majority of them are best for intermediate climbers (the difficulty grade ranges between 5.10–5.12), there are a few easier options ideal for beginners. The New River Gorge is popular among avid climbers, thanks to the over 1,400 established routes throughout the area. Take your time and make plenty of stops to enjoy the forest, river, and views of the iconic bridge along the way. Full of hairpin turns and vista points, the road winds down to the bottom of the gorge, across a narrow bridge, and back up to the top.
