Where does Ascent Climb?
Ascent is based in Connecticut. So naturally, we climb quite a bit in our own backyard at places like Ragged Mountain, Sleeping Giant and the shoreline crags.
We also love to visit some of the northeast's great distinations with our guests, places like the Adirondacks (NY) and White Mountains (NH). Inquire about availability.

We can provide harness, helmet, belay device, carabiners, climbing shoes or ice climbing boots, crampons, ice tools, ropes and rigging equipment.
Can I use my Equipment?
Sure, you'll probably be more comfortable using your own harness, helmet, boots, etc.
Please bear in mind that (a) equipment must be in good, unaltered condition; (b) must be manufactured specifically for climbing and (c) soft goods like harnesses must be less than 7 years of age, regardless of usage.
