The saying “train locally, climb globally” rings especially true for New England climbers.  Whether your forte is finessing your way up a rock wall, swinging an ice axe into a frozen waterfall, or experiencing the wild weather and grandeur of the alpine environment, the northeast offers some of the best terrain for these pursuits all in one place.
