Climbing Gym

The Inner Wall is an indoor rock climbing facility located just outside the famous Shawangunk Ridge (The Gunks) in New Paltz, NY. Our customers include rock climbers and non-climbers of all ages and experience levels. Indoor climbing involves the use of pre-set anchors, ropes and routes. With 4500 square feet of wall space and more than 100 climbing routes, The Inner Wall is quickly becoming a favorite climbing destination for residents of the Hudson Valley Region and visitors alike.

There are many methods of rock-climbing. Some are done individually, others require a partner. The most common method of indoor climbing is "Top-Roping" which requires two people. Climbers under the age of fourteen (14) must be accompanied by a parent /guardian who is certified to manage the ropes (i.e. Belay Certified) or work with one of our qualified staff. Individuals over the age of 14, may take our Belay orientation course or demonstrate their Belay ability to our satisfaction. Staff belay is available with a 24-hour reservation. Read more

    The Inner Wall has great bouldering and a friendly staff. The routes are always interesting, and I learn something new every time I go. It's my happy place.

    Bouldering routes are consistently updated (but not too often! so that you may finish complicated ones). The staff are very professional and are quick to answer any questions you might have. The routes are extremely thoughtful and the variety on each wall gives people plenty of options. ... Majority of the walls in the gym are interconnected. If you are shy first timer the place is perfect for jumping in and seeing what you can do -- the crowd/staff are very supportive of beginners.

    We went there for a kids birthday party and the staff were amazing. The staff members were very kid friendly, accommodating, and kept the kids safe. The place is perfect for a kids birthday party or if any adults want to go and hang out,
