NRG CRAGGIN’ CLASSIC
September 13-15, 2024
Registration opens July 18, 2024.
Rally to the New River Gorge and join the American Alpine Club and Tenaya for the biggest and baddest climbing celebration and throw-down in the Southeast!
This 3-day grassroots climbing festival celebrates all things climbing: community, education, and stewardship.
The weekend features climbing clinics taught by professional athletes and certified climbing instructors, workshops, a Climb United x Queer Climbing Ohio Meet-up, and a stewardship project hosted in partnership with The New River Alliance of Climbers.
Of course, it wouldn’t be the epic celebration that it is today without our Vendor Village, local craft beer, gear demos, games, raffles, and a dance party in the woods that you’ll be talking about for years to come!
