Experience Shovel Point Rock Climbing

With routes for beginners and experienced climbers, Shovel Point is a true climbing destination! It offers gorgeous hikes with unique natural history features and the opportunity to explore Tettegouche State Park and Lake Superior.

We’ll also teach you how to tie climbing knots, learn top belay and rappelling techniques, and more. Receive coaching from Blake Cazier, one of the most experienced climbing guides in the region. And you’ll also enjoy interesting stories about the unique geological and natural history of the region and the rocks you are climbing on.
