Expand your horizons from the gym to the great outdoors!
Learn to lead belay, lead climb, set and clean anchors, and assess risk.  Our wealth of experience helps us teach you a solid foundation of skills while avoiding common mistakes. The vertical world isn’t where you want to learn the hard way. 

Entering the multi-pitch domain is where climbing goes from sport to adventure.  Develop the skills to venture higher and deeper on San Juan classics like Princess Ella’s Magical Adventure or Nuggernaut. In this course, we cover the whole process from planning and prep, to anchor building and top belaying, to rappelling and self rescue..

From indian creek splitters, to desert towers, to yosemite big walls, our deepest and most rewarding climbing experiences have been trad climbing.  We love teaching the skills that will help you to feel competent and confident on your own dream climbs. Our Trad clinics are designed to teach the art and science of placing and trusting gear, building reliable anchors, and assessing risk effectively.  Learning from our AMGA certified guides can help you climb to new heights.  Custom clinics available.
