Gear for rock climbing, ice climbing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, camping, hiking, running and more.

For over 40 years, Rock & Snow has been home to the newest and most innovative gear and clothing related to climbing and outdoor recreation. If you see or hear about a new piece of gear, ask us for the details. There’s a good chance we’ll be one of the first stores to carry it and use it!

We’re all climbers, so we know what climbers need. And we all live and play in the New Paltz area, so we know lots of useful things about it. Climbing routes? We know them all. Campsites or hotels? Got it covered. We pride ourselves on our local knowledge, and we love to share it with anyone who will listen.

We love our Gunks, home to some of the best climbing in the world. A portion of our sales goes to support local preservation efforts, so in addition to offering the best gear and advice around, we’re helping to keep our environment happy & healthy for future climbers.
