Frequently Asked Questions
ContactNo. First time climbers, ages 7 and up, are welcome to climb with us for half-day or full-day adventures. Families are encouraged to climb with our team as well! Our guided climbing adventures are a great highlight to any Durango vacation.
No. Our team can provide you with all the appropriate climbing equipment: rock climbing shoes, helmet, harness, and ropes. However, if you have your own gear, it is encouraged that you bring what you own–being more familiar with your own equipment is always a win!
Weather happens, and can sometimes lead to cancellations. However, our team will work with you to either a). reschedule your course with us to accommodate the weather and your time, b). give you a LifeWays credit for a future climbing adventure, or c). refund your deposit if we determine your course will be canceled–we do need 24 hours notice to guarantee your full refund. Regardless, our goal is to prioritize our relationship with you as our client(s), and will do our best to communicate with integrity to best serve your time outside with us.
The starting location depends on where you’ll be climbing. Our guides will call and/or text you to confirm your exact starting location. However, for all local Durango climbing courses, your starting location will be within 15 minutes or less from downtown Durango. When in doubt, call your guide! We also sometimes meet at our 1022 ½ Main Ave, Durango, CO 81301 address.
Most often, no. You’re responsible for transporting yourself and the group to and from the climbing location. **There are some exceptions: typically, these are for a large group or contracted party. Please inquire directly with our team to confirm or consult about your transportation needs.
