Rock
Climbing is an exciting, enjoyable sport that isn't really that
hard to learn. At Vertical Ventures, we specialize in teaching rock
climbing skills for beginners and experts.
ABOUT GRAND LEDGE
- Located west of Lansing, MI, This small town is home to “the ledges”
in Oak Park. The 35 - 40 ft. sandstone cliffs running along the
Grand River, give Grand Ledge its name. It’s also home to cliff
swallows, bats and over 40 species of wildflowers including the
cliff dwelling Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia). The ledges
offer great climbing and is the perfect place for basic and intermediate
level rock climbing.
ABOUT RATTLESNAKE
POINT - In Milton, Ontario, Canada,
this Conservation Area is home to spectacular cliffs overlooking
Toronto & Lake Ontario. This section of the Niagara Escarpment
ranges from 40 to 90 ft. high and is one of several prominent limestone
outcroppings along Southern Ontario. It’s home to Canada’s second
oldest tree species, the Eastern White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis
L.). These trees, some exceeding 1800 years, make up the oldest
forest in eastern North America. This area is a Mecca for rock climbers,
cavers, hikers and all sorts of adventurers. Rattlesnake itself
offers a great variety of top-rope climbing, single pitch lead climbing
and rappelling options from basic to advanced in difficulty level.
Some multi-pitch rock climbing is also available nearby.
