Climbing
Richmond is one of the few cities that allows rock climbing inside the corporate limits. Tree climbing with an outfitter in some parts of the park has gained in popularity over the years, too. And, yes, we have to say that you climb at your own risk.
Recreational Tree Climbing
We’re not talking about climbing the oak in your grandmother’s backyard. This is about ropes, ascenders, harnesses, helmets, gloves, and a good workout. At the top, the view is quite fine. Call Riverside Outfitters to schedule a climb.
