Climb – Staunton State Park

Top rope and sport climbing in the King’s Landing area of Staunton State Park. Per Mountain Project, there are several routes between 5.4 and 5.9 that can be top-roped or sport climbed. All climbers must have taken Basic Climbing or received a waiver and be over 18 years old. Those wishing to sport climb must have taken sport class or have equivalent experience. This is a very popular area for climbing, hiking and mountain biking, so we will likely encounter other people while climbing.
