A low student-to-teacher ratio on Rock Climbing courses means you'll get all the attention you need to develop your skills.

This course is a comprehensive immersion into the sport of traditional (“trad”) rock climbing. You’ll learn the fundamentals of climbing on some of Wyoming’s famous sheer granite walls and towering spires.

Your instructors will emphasize such skills as climbing techniques, rope systems, anchors, rappelling and belaying, protection placement, risk management and lead philosophy. You’ll have ample opportunity to practice your climbing skills while you develop a strong foundation in wilderness ethics and experience extended backcountry living and traveling.

With a student to instructor ratio of 4:1, you’ll get the personal attention necessary to develop your climbing and backcountry skills rapidly.
