Places To Climb

Deciding where to go can be one of the most difficult parts of planning a climbing trip. The following info may help GT students find the best places for them. Our highly biased opinions on the quality of an area for particular types of climbing are given from 0 stars to 4 stars. Note that the star system does not work well to compare the quality of different types of climbing at a particular area
