New Paltz Climbing Cooperative Overview

Situated in the scenic Hudson Valley, the New Paltz Climbing Cooperative (NPCC) is an independent climbing gym dedicated to serving the local community. Conveniently located off NY-299, it is approximately 1.5 miles from downtown New Paltz and easily accessible from the New York State Thruway (I-87). NPCC operates as a cooperative, prioritizing accessibility, community involvement, and environmental sustainability.

• Climbing Options: Offers a mix of bouldering, top-rope climbing, and lead climbing, catering to various skill levels.

• Community Focus: Hosts workshops, events, and climbing competitions to engage the local climbing community.
• Route Setting: Regularly updated climbing routes, created by experienced setters to provide continuous challenges.
