When we think of great climbing destinations, Vermont isn’t a place that typically comes to mind. But, it turns out the state has some interesting things to offer climbers, if they are willing to look hard enough. This video takes us there to see first hand some of the routes that are available, many of which have been opened thanks to the tireless work of two men who decided to help develop Vermont’s climbing scene over the past two decades. As you’ll see, it is a story that reminds us that we can help pave the way for other outdoor adventurers to follow.
