Richmond, VA - Located beyond the mountains, Richmond offers a unique rock climbing venue. The downtown area is home to The Manchester Bridge Wall, offering rock climbing routes from 30-60′ on granite blocks. The climbs are on stone bridge abutments than can be climbed on top rope, sport, trad or mixed. The bridge climbing area offers views of downtown and the James River.
