Alpine Tower at Hemlock Neversink
Fifty-three of climbing walls, cargo nets and suspended elements in the middle of 230 Catskills acres.
Climb something you didn't think you would
Most people arrive at Hemlock planning to slow down. The Alpine Tower is what happens when you'd rather do the opposite for an hour.
Standing 53 feet tall, the tower is a freestanding climbing structure with climbing walls, cargo nets, suspended elements and challenge-course components, the kind you’d find at a serious summer camp, dropped into the middle of our meadow. There’s more than one way up, and none of them require you to have done this before.
You don't need experience. You don't need your own gear. You need about an hour and a willingness to look up.
Built for teams that are tired of trust falls
Trust falls have never worked. Climbing a 53-foot tower while your colleagues belay you works immediately.
The tower's routes are designed for groups. Some take two or three people working together, and the ones that don't still put everyone on the ground doing the encouraging. It's the rare team activity where the introvert who never speaks in meetings turns out to be the one who gets to the top first.
Pair it with a goat hike in the morning and a private dinner at night, and you have a retreat day nobody spends checking their phone. With 33 rooms on 230 acres, Hemlock can host your team for a full property buyout.

How climbs work
Climbs run at set times through the day, and spots are limited. Reserve yours once you've booked your stay so it's on the schedule, not on your list of maybes.
