When visiting the US National Whitewater Center, not only can you learn how to paddle and go on hikes and mountain bike rides, you can learn how to rock climb! In this particular spot you can climb attached to a rope on outdoor, freestanding pinnacles. This facility is most famous, however, for its deep water soloing. Deep water soloing is where you climb without a rope and fall into deep pools of water, breaking your fall. The roped options here at the climbing center are great way to try out climbing and might be a better option for beginners.
