This course, specifically designed for our students age 23 and over, takes place in Red Rocks National Conservation Area outside Las Vegas, Nevada. You’ll base camp in one of the campgrounds managed by the Red Rocks Conservation Area.

Red Rocks is a wonderland of sandstone, world-renowned desert climbing and excellent multi-pitch routes. Tailored for climbers of all experience levels, from novice to advanced, the course will focus on skills—including climbing techniques, knots, rope handling, belaying, anchors, protection placement, traditional and “sport” climbing systems, rappelling, and lead climbing theory. You’ll also have the chance to put all you’ve learned into action on at least one long multi-pitch route. If you’re ready, you’ll have the opportunity to lead a climb.
