Experience Climbing!
Are you looking forward to climbing in the Southeast and Midwest, United States? Come experience the charm of some of the best rock climbing that sandstone has to offer! Here at Southeast Mountain Guides we are zealous about continually developing ourselves and fellow climbers into excellent members of our climbing communities. Not only do we love rock climbing but we are enthused to share our knowledge and experience. We passionately instruct on the ins and outs of rock climbing especially in the realm of sport, trad, single-pitch, multi-pitch, lead, and top-rope.

Red River Gorge
We may be biased but the Red River Gorge has some must-do climbing! Over hundreds of years, our unique geological area has created pocketed faces and undulating crack systems in the bullet proof corbin sandstone.. Sometimes the pockets form large huecos that you can even climb into to get a mid-route rest after some intense endurance climbing. This breathtaking climbing capital has thousands of routes within minutes of driving, short hikes, and a “Red River Rainforest” that has luscious green in the Spring and Summer, and vibrant colors in the Fall season.
Jackson Falls, IL
Jackson Falls has been growing in popularity as the secret of this gem of a climbing destination is spreading. There are plenty of routes to keep the average climber hungry for more. Jackson Falls will hone your footwork and climbing technique as you navigate its engaging climbing movement. The vertical to slab terrain that Jackson Falls boasts of is located about 45 minutes outside of Paducah KY.

Breaks Interstate Park, KY/VA
The climbing in Breaks Interstate Park got its start only a few years ago, and has maintained quite the adventurous feel. But don’t let that intimidate you, the BIP has some truly outstanding cliffs that are very similar to the rock faces and climbing styles of the Red River Gorge. Located on the state line, the BIP has some stunning views as you look over the Russell Fork River and take in its remote natural beauty.
