Every year The White Mountain School hosts a variety of climbing competitions through USA Climbing. These events are a great way to get into climbing, meet new friends, and become ranked nationally with USA Climbing.
The 2009-20010 schedule includes the following events:
White Mountain's indoor climbing facility covers 3,000 sq. ft., peaks at a height of 38 feet, and includes over 500 sq. ft. of steep terrain for bouldering, ropes set with mechanical belay devices, bolts for lead climbing, intricate corner systems and real crack systems. Its surface, an epoxy-based cement, uses granite, marble dust, and sand giving it the look and texture of real granite rock. The climbing wall is part of The White Mountain School's athletic facility that includes free weights, Nautilus equipment, and a running track. The facility is a central point for all athletic and Wilderness Skills Program activities. The White Mountain School’s rock and ice climbing programs are the first high school program, public or private, to earn accreditation from the American Mountain Guides Association.
