ROCK CLIMBING
The climbing scene around the Rockies is simply endless. One can go for an afternoon climb and be home for dinner or go for a full-on remote rock adventure a few minutes drive away. There are several different ways to get started, but the easier way to go is likely to come for an experience day, whether it's on your own or with the family. If you want to step up your game and learn the fundamentals of lead climbing, trad climbing and rope rescue skills, we'll make it happen.

ROCK RESCUE
The skills everyone should have. You've been climbing for a while, you start going up multi-pitch, your leader gets hurt and you can't lower her to you... what do you do? Despite all our goodwill we sometimes make mistakes or mother nature is against us that day. That rock fell right on your belayer's arm and you have to do something halfway up your climb. The prospect of having to rescue somebody on a wall is sometimes quite frightening, but in the end, if you're prepared, that could certainly be a life-saving grace. And let's admit it, playing with ropes is pretty fun. During this 2 day program, you'll learn all the skills necessary to plan and operate a proper rescue in very different scenarios.
