Since we opened our doors in 2000, Petra Cliffs Climbing Center has been the unofficial, albeit undisputed, headquarters for the Champlain region's climbing community. We boast an extensive indoor facility designed to appeal to climbers of every level. Add classes and excursions taught by the area's best and brightest instructors, along with professionally designed team building programs, and it's immediately clear why Vermont chooses Petra Cliffs. Stop by for a look.

8,500 square feet to play and learn as well as an upstairs bouldering area, lead cave and a Challenge Works designed multiple elements indoor challenge course.

We have 22 top rope stations and close to 80% of our walls are leadable.

With Peter Kamitses as our head route setter, you're sure to find multiple routes of just about every grade to hold your attention.
