Franklin Gorge

Franklin Gorge

Franklin Gorge is a small sport climbing area near Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area located in Franklin, WV. This rock climbing spot was first discovered and developed by John Burcham and friends during the early-mid 90s. The site contains mostly sport and toprope climbing as well as some traditional climbing, and is located on private land. The rock is layered sandstone and some limestone which create horizonals, and the site has pockets and huecos for the majority of the holds. This site is the first place many Mid-Atlantic climbers cut their teeth on bolted rock climbing routes before going on to challenge the New River Gorge.
