Sample Itinerary

This is a rough outline for a full day of climbing with a group of beginner climbers. All trips are customized to your needs!

You’ll meet your guide at the trailhead/parking lot and everyone will be fitted with a harness, shoes, and helmet before making a short walk over to our venue for the day. You’ll learn some basic skills such as tying into the rope and belaying before spending the day climbing and belaying each other on a variety of routes. During the day we will set up a rappelling experience off the top of the cliff, you’ll be in control (backed up by our professional guides) as you descend to the ground! Eventually we’ll pack up our gear and head back to the cars for high-fives and goodbyes.
