ROCK CLIMBING
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced climber, our expert guides will take you to the best climbing locations that fit your needs.
Colorado Rock Climbing
Colorado Rock Climbing is world renowned. The majority of our trips take place surrounding Vail, Colorado where we find granite in the forests behind the quaint town of Minturn.
At times when it rains in Minturn we head towards the desert sandstone in Wolcott. If you are not located in Vail we also take trips to the countless multi-pitch routes in Eldorado Canyon, Cathedral Spires and Colorado National Monument.
There are many different aspects of climbing including culture, safety techniques, footwork, body positioning, mental control, difficulty grading and equipment. Our guides can educate and expand your horizons with all of these aspects. If you prefer to just enjoy the rock and rely on us to provide you with a safe environment we can also coach you through different routes without expanding on other subjects.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced climber, our expert guides will take you to the best climbing locations that fit your needs. Rock climbing in Vail is very popular and can result in crowded areas. As local experts, living and working on the rock wall every day, we have the honor of guiding you to some of Vail’s exclusive and less crowded climbing spots. Join us today for an unforgettable rock climbing adventure in Vail!

Colorado National Monument Multi-Pitch
Colorado National Monument is home of the awe inspiring “Otto’s Route”.
The approach to the climb has alluring views but is lengthy. As a result we tend to leave rather early in the morning before the sun can get to us. As the sun rises we begin to ascend the desert tower. Fortunately, we stay protected in the shade during most of the climb. The climb is a great adventure with expansive views of the valley below.
