HighXposure offers rock climbing instruction at the Shawangunk Cliffs just west of New Paltz, NY, only 90 minutes from New York City. Recognized as one of the outstanding climbing centers in the United States, the "Gunks" offer a wide variety of high quality climbing opportunities at every level from beginner to expert. Easy access to the climbs and the friendly nature of the area combine to provide a comfortable atmosphere which makes for a great learning environment.

Formerly High Angle Adventures, we were founded by Jon Ross in 1974, and were the first guide service to operate on the Mohonk Preserve. Jon Ross has decided to retire, and HighXposure Adventures has been formed to carry on the business. It is our intention to continue with the same pride and attention to detail that was so meticulously kept by Jon. Come climb with the longest running guide service in the "Gunks".

With the spring rock climbing season upon us, HighXposure Adventures suggests taking advantage of our special Preseason Mid-Week Rates, as well as our new Family Packages. It is a great time of the year to experience all the wonderful climbing the northeast has to offer. So if you are interested in learning the newest AMGA skills and techniques or would just like to refresh the ones you already know we are offering many new Climbing Clinics and Classes, including Intro to Climbing, Indoor to Outdoor Transition, Top-Rope / Anchor Building, Intermediate / Advanced Climbing Movement, and Learn to Lead classes.
