 Colorado Rock Climbing

Colorado rock climbing is renowned for its diverse terrain, breathtaking scenery, and high-quality routes. At Apex Mountain School, we offer guided rock climbing trips throughout the state, with our primary base in Vail, Colorado—a region celebrated for its pristine granite cliffs tucked away in the forests near the historic town of Minturn.

Not staying in Vail? No problem. We also guide unforgettable climbing adventures across Colorado, including the Boulder Flatirons, Cathedral Spires, and the stunning Colorado National Monument, home to some of the best multi-pitch climbing in the region.

Whether you’re eager to learn the fundamentals or simply want to spend the day on classic routes, our experienced guides are here to support your goals. We tailor every climbing trip to your comfort level, ensuring a safe, educational, and fun experience.

Whether you’re a beginner taking your first steps on the wall or an advanced climber looking for new challenges, we’ll take you to the best climbing locations in Colorado that match your objectives. While rock climbing in Vail is popular and can be busy, our local expertise allows us to access more secluded and lesser-known spots—giving you the chance to enjoy the rock without the crowds.
