Where we climb

Austin Greenbelt 

 Rock climbing within Barton Creek’s Greenbelt is a great way to climb close to Austin. Unique for an urban setting, the greenbelt offers  moderate to hard climbing routes, easy access, and outstanding climbing quality. The beautiful, shaded setting provides amazing year-round climbing and miles of trails to hike before or after climbing. 

Milton Reimer's Ranch

Milton Reimers Ranch is the crown jewel of central Texas limestone climbing with its panoramic views of the Texas Hill Country. Nestled in the heart of Travis County’s Dripping Springs, it offers steep cliffs along the Pedernales River.  Reimers Ranch offers one of the highest concentrations of easy to moderate climbing routes in the area. 

Enchanted Rock 

Looking out over grasslands and tall oak forests, the breathtaking pink granite dome lives up to its name in a mystical way. This ancient, pristine granite offers excellent climbing that is second to none with routes ranging from beginner to expert. Enchanted Rock is the original Lone Star State climbing area and a perfect setting for everyone’s climbing adventure.
