Let’s Go Climbing!

Whether you’re looking to try climbing for the first time, build your skills on rock, or pursue a big multi-pitch objective, I offer guided climbing experiences across Colorado’s Front Range to match your goals. Every day is customized to you — your pace, your interests, your level. Let’s get after it!

Private Days

Your day, your way.

Looking for a fully personalized climbing experience? Private days are the best way to get exactly what you want out of a day on the rock — whether that’s refining your skills, climbing classic routes, or just spending a fun day outside. We’ll work together to design your perfect outing, whether it’s single-pitch or multi-pitch, sport or trad.

Examples:

  • Build technical rope or anchor-building skills

  • Climb a classic multi-pitch route

  • Coaching & movement skills days

  • Climb with friends or family with a private guide

Group Courses

New to climbing? Let’s start here.

Introductory days are designed for those new to outdoor climbing or who have climbed indoors and want to transition to the outdoors. I provide all the technical instruction and safety systems so you can focus on learning and having fun. Offerings for advanced skills are also available in group settings.

You’ll learn:

  • How to use outdoor climbing gear

  • Belaying and basic rope skills

  • Movement fundamentals on real rock

  • Crag etiquette and Leave No Trace principles

Climbing Objectives

Ready for your next climbing goal? Let’s do it.

If you have a particular route or objective in mind — or just want to push your skills to the next level — I can help you get there. From Front Range classics to lesser-known gems, we’ll plan the right day and approach for your ability and goals. Think of the Flatirons, Eldorado Canyon, Clear Creek Canyon, and more!

Popular objectives include:

  • First multi-pitch climb

  • Classic Front Range trad climbs

  • Progression days — moving toward harder grades

  • Learn the skills to climb independently outdoors
