Whether you’re a complete newb or seasoned rock climber, Golden Mountain Guides has something to offer you. They provide both private half day and full climbing guided trips, as well as two classic experiences: the Flatirons and Moab/Desert Towers.

Half Day – The most common choice is a 4 hour trip by a pro AMGA guide. It’s open to beginners, intermediate and advanced climbers. They will provide all the needed equipment for rock climbing, you just bring personal supplies like a backpack, water, snacks, sunscreen, etc. Most climbs head to Eldorado Canyon State Park or Clear Creek Canyon.

Full Day – These 8 hour trips really improve your climbing skills and can accomplish bigger goals. In addition to the two common locations above, the Cathedral Spires are open to full day guided climbs too.

Ice Climbing

Guided ice climbing trips offer the thrill of rock climbing all winter long. Clear Creek Canyon is the ice climbing location of choice. They provide all the equipment you need, plus a professional ice climbing guide. Boot rentals are required and should be reserved ahead of time to ensure proper size.

Courses & Clinics

Golden Mountain Guides provides several different courses to really specialize your learning. They are taught in a 5:1 ratio, ensuring you have ample instruction from your guide. Some of the courses include:

Gym to Crag – Take your rock climbing from the indoor gym to the outdoor playground.
