Climbing | Made by Mountains - Western North Carolina

Climbing Gear Loved by locals

We joined Fox Mountain Guides on an epic climbing adventure at scenic Ship Rock, located on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the High Country. A popular and easily accessible crag, Ship sees a lot of action in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Piedmont climbers looking for relief from the heat turn to Ship’s cooler heights and classic routes. Whether you are a complete novice or an advanced climber seeking to refine your rock climbing or mountaineering skills, the professionals at Fox Mountain Guides will provide you with an unforgettable experience in the mountains.
