About Us
The most comprehensive outdoor climbing program in the DC area is now East Outdoors.
New name, better-than-ever expert guidance toward your goals—whether you’re trying climbing outdoors for the first time or looking for technical training toward big objectives. Our classes are custom-designed, always up-to-date with current best practices, led by certified pros, and shaped by deep local knowledge and decades of teaching climbing and outdoor guiding around the country.
We know climbing—and how to teach it.
This year we’re more excited than ever to bring you the best climbing classes with the most-trusted and most-experienced guide team in the region; new trips to new locations; and more options for learning and building your community than ever. We believe that meaningful relationships with the outdoors are important and should be accessible to all.
