Our indoor climbing gym is just one of the great climbing experiences you can have with N3C! We also have American Mountain Guide Association (AMGA) certified instructors who can take you outside to climb.
Whether you are interested in climbing for the first time, are looking to hone your existing skills, or want to be guided up one of New Hampshire’s classic climbs, we can craft an adventure that is right for you.
Adventures
Come climb with us! Let our experienced guides take you on an adventure to remember!
Intro to Outdoor Climbing
Best For: People with no climbing experience, gym climbers looking to climb outdoors for the first time, families, or anyone else who wants to experience the mountains in a new way.
Experience the best the White Mountains have to offer! Choose a half or full day package and let N3C’s experienced guides choose an appropriate location and climbs to have a fun day on the rock, regardless of your age, experience, or fitness.
Prerequisites: None. Appropriate for all ages and fitness levels.
Custom Climbing Adventure
Best For: Anyone with a goal they don’t think fits one of our offerings!
Maybe you’ve always dreamed of climbing Cannon Cliff and need a rope gun. Maybe you’re visiting from out of town and just want a belayer with all the local beta. We know that not every goal fits neatly into one of our offerings, so let us know what you want to achieve and we will work with you to plan an adventure to remember.
Skills Development
Learn things with us! Let us help you along the next step of your climbing journey.
Intro to Sport Climbing
Best For: Climbers who have lead climbed in a gym and want to take the next step outside.
Are you an experienced gym climber looking to transition to outdoor lead climbing? Our intro to sport climbing course is designed to help you take your climbing skills to the next level. Our knowledgeable guides will teach you the fundamentals of leading on real rock, including how to manage the unique risks and challenges of outdoor climbing. With personalized instruction and hands-on practice, you’ll gain the confidence and knowledge to efficiently lead climb in a variety of outdoor settings. Join us and take the next step in your climbing journey!
Prerequisites: Some experience lead climbing, either indoors or outdoors. Prior outdoor climbing experience is recommended.
Intro to Trad Climbing
Best For: Climbers who have some lead experience. Sport climbing experience can be helpful but is not required.
Many of the best climbs in the White Mountains, especially the long adventures, have few or no bolts. Accessing this terrain requires knowing how to place your own protection, as well as when and where. Whether you’re totally new to traditional (“trad”) climbing and need to learn the basics, or have some experience already and just want an expert eye to critique your placements, we can help you take the next step in your trad climbing career!
Prerequisites: Some experience lead climbing, either indoors or outdoors. Prior outdoor climbing experience is recommended.
Intro to Multipitch Climbing
Best For: Climbers with outdoor lead experience looking to start accessing longer climbs.
Some goals are longer than a rope length. These multi-pitch routes require advanced skill sets such as anchor building, route finding, and belaying from above that can be difficult to acquire on single pitch climbs. And that’s before we even talk about the different risk management decisions that need to be made when you commit to multi-pitch climbs. Don’t struggle through the steep learning curve of multi-pitch climbing alone. Let N3C’s skilled instructors accelerate your progress and help you achieve your climbing goals faster and better.
Prerequisites: Some experience lead climbing, either indoors or outdoors. Prior outdoor climbing experience is recommended. Let us know if your goal is trad or sport multipitch climbing.
Advanced Skills Development
Best For: Climbers looking to develop skills that don’t fit neatly into one of our other courses.
Not every skill that you might want to learn fits neatly into one our courses, but that doesn’t mean we can’t help! Self rescue skills, top rope anchors, facing your fear of falling, whatever you need to work on we’re happy to help!

Anybody But Dudes (“ABD”) are welcoming and supportive sessions for, well, anybody but dudes!
