Today, we continue this tradition by offering unique courses designed and taught by experienced professionals. Whether indoors or out, The Boston Rock Gym strives to host the best courses, all taught by certified professional instructors. The Boston Rock Gym is an industry leader in offering certified climbing instruction.

A majority of our instructors have taken this course and are certified by the AMGA/CWA as Rock Wall Instructors. We also offer one of the country’s only curriculum based custom climbing technique programs. In addition to our range of indoor classes, we also host a wide variety of outdoor guiding and ascent services. Our head outdoor guide Joe Lentini has been a professional climbing guide for over 30 years, and is an American Mountain Guides Association certified Rock Guide.
