“Lifeways held a lead climbing clinic for us, and we learned so much. Can’t speak highly enough of the team that helped us. The experience was so valuable in gaining confidence and safety skills for transitioning from gym climbing to outdoor climbing.”

“Our Durango friend group worked with LifeWays to build us a custom climbing clinic to help us advance our outdoor climbing skills and safety. The entire team was incredible! They were generous with their time and knowledge sharing. We learned so much and gained confidence. We hope to do an annual clinic with LifeWays to continue advancing our skills. There’s no one else in Durango I’d trust!”

“Lifeways led a climbing clinic for myself and 5 friends. Brian, Rowan, and Chris were our guides and they were fantastic. Knowledgable, patient, and a great resource for us who were wanting to get back into the swing of climbing, pun intended. If you’re looking for climbing guides around Durango who can tailor clinics to your skill level, this is the team for you. Will definitely be going back to develop my skills with them.”
