Description
Would you like to take your anchor building to the next level? Then join me on this exciting course on Artists Bluff and enjoy rock climbing in New Hampshire like a pro.
Learning to build solid anchors is vital to top-rope and lead climbing, and to stay safe. The two basic steps for anchor building are identifying good anchor points and then connecting them, but this is, of course, a matter of greater complexity that involves understanding the rocks, the ropes, the climbing and more. If you’re already tried your hand at outdoor climbing and learnt the basics, then this course will allow you to take your climbing to the next level and learn more advanced techniques on the beautiful Artists Bluff in New Hampshire.
Artists Bluff is located in the White Mountains and is an open ledge hill that overlooks the spectacular Franconia Notch State Park and the beautiful Echo lake. This breathtaking spot has some great granite routes both for moderate and advanced climbing and will give us plenty of options to put our new skills to practice. You can join this program if you already have some prior rock climbing experience, or you can combine it with a basic outdoor climbing course first and take it from there. Whichever your preference, I will be there to help and guide you every step of the way.
So, are you ready for this advanced rock climbing course in New Hampshire? Then contact me now and let’s start planning an unforgettable day out on Artist’s Bluff! I look forward to guiding you!

Rock Guide
Alex grew up skiing and exploring the wild places of New England. These early explorations led Alex to rock climbing, mountaineering and backcountry skiing and from there into guiding. Alex began guiding professionally in 2007 in an effort to combine his passion for climbing and teaching. In 2014 Alex took over as owner of Mooney Mountain Guides from his mentor and friend Art Mooney, providing the opportunity for sharing his passion for the mountains into his life’s work.
Alex believes that guiding is so much more than just putting the rope up. It is about creating an experience that not only adds to the quality of life of his guests, it also expands their relationship with the Earth and with themselves. “Creating experiences for growth is what I enjoy most about my work. The guests I climb with the most become my friends, and I get to watch them transform into climbers and planet activists.” As a father, business owner, teacher and experienced guide he has a keen sense of risk and how to manage it to create unforgettable experiences for his guests.
