Itinerary
We’ll meet at our Silverthorne headquarters or at the climbing area to get geared up and go over the plan for your day on the rock. From there, it’s a short approach to one of our favorite local crags.
Your guide will set up routes that match your ability and goals, whether it's your first time climbing or progressing to more technical terrain. Expect a mix of fun, challenging climbs, great views, and plenty of time to rest, reset, and enjoy the experience.
Along the way, you’ll get helpful tips on movement, technique, and efficiency, but the focus stays simple: climb more, build confidence, and learn the essentials.
Course requires a minimum of 3 participants to run.
