Rock Climbing Facilities in Connecticut

Carter
When it comes to rock climbing, it can be hard to find a good indoor facility with friendly employees who can help everyone from the newest beginner to the most experienced climber. Here are my three favorite indoor rock climbing facilities in Connecticut:

Easton Community Center - MT. ECC Indoor Climbing Wall
364 Sport Hill Rd
Easton, Connecticut 06825
(203) 459-9700

This is a great facility for anyone looking for a good time. Climbs must be scheduled in advance and cost between $10-$20 per hour. Everything is provided including equipment making this facility and its 700 feet particularly appealing to newcomers.

Stone Age Rock Gym
195 Adams St.
Manchester, Connecticut
(860) 645-0015

If you're looking for a bigger facility for climbing than Stone Age Rock Gym has exactly what you are looking for. What makes this facility stand out from all the rest is its over 4500 feet of indoor climbing wall. This facility even has sessions for local outdoor climbing as well as a summer camp for children 6-17 and a professional shop for purchasing equipment. The facility offers multiple fees for different memberships as well as courses on proper climbing techniques. It is important to note however that the classes must be paid for separately and some of them can be rather expensive. I recommend trying to find a friend who is an experienced climber instead of taking the classes.

The CT Rock Gym
91 Shelton Avenue
New Haven, Connecticut 06511
(203) 404-5166

What makes this place stand out from the other two is its bigger focus on fitness instead of just rock climbing. Members of this facility also have access to an entire gym as well as strength training classes. This is ideal for anyone serious about taking their rock climbing to the next level. Like the other places equipment can be rented out and if you really want to you can even pay to rent equipment for an entire year at a discounted price. This facility also offers a free trail day to friends so if you know anyone who goes to this facility ask them to bring you along for the day and you'll get the full experience without spending a penny!
