Father’s Day Rock Climbing in Colorado’s Flatirons

57hours is committed to providing safe outdoor adventure experiences. We require all guides using our platform to have a COVID-19 safety plan and to make the details of that plan accessible to travelers. In most cases, group sizes will be reduced, guides will avoid overcrowded locations, and other safety measures will be met depending on the location and activity. 

We also expect clients to respect local regulations and take measures to protect themselves, their guides, and the communities they’re traveling to. For more information on COVID-19 measures in Colorado please refer to the Official Colorado COVID-19 updates website. 

Please contact us if you have any questions or require further information. We are happy to provide you with the most up-to-date information!

For this rock climbing adventure in Colorado, If you can climb a ladder, you’re good to go. Being in good shape is always a plus but far from necessary. Rock climbing is all about using good movement technique rather than muscling up a cliff using brute strength. To ensure you have a fun day, your guide will choose routes that best suit your skill and fitness level.

Colorado has plenty of options for beginner climbers. Whether you’ve never climbed before or are transitioning from the gym to outdoor climbing, your guide will customize the day to suit your skill level and objectives. With a guide by your side, you’ll learn something new, stay safe on the rocks, and most importantly, have fun!

For intermediate to advanced climbers, Colorado has loads of routes to spend the day on. Your guide will discuss your objectives and customize the day to your goals. Let your guide plan the day so you can focus on developing your skills while climbing the classic routes or best-hidden gems the area has to offer.

All technical climbing equipment will be provided by your guiding service. However, if you have your own gear, feel free to bring it. You’ll need:

• Helmet
• Harness with a locking carabiner, belay device, and chalk bag
• Ropes
• Rock shoes (included in the price, but we recommend bringing your own if you have them)
• Climbing hardware (quickdraws, cam devices, stoppers, etc.)

Here’s a list of the equipment we suggest you bring:

• Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 40L bag)
• Water bottle
• Food you can eat on-the-go
• Toiletries (sunscreen, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.)
• Sunglasses
• Camera — optional

Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

Group sizes and prices:

• The group size for this trip is 10 climbers and 2-3 guides. 
• Costs per person decrease as the group grows, so it’s the perfect opportunity to climb with friends and family. 

Min. age requirements:

• If you are older than 18, you’re good to go.

If your group has climbers under the age of 18, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

To get to Colorado Crags, most people fly into Denver International Airport, about an hour away from the rock climbing locations. From there, you can rent a car or take a taxi to your accommodation. Rock climbing location is positioned just outside of Boulder.

Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will suggest the best place to meet. The meeting point will most likely be in Boulder at Chautauqua Park at 8AM. The guide will choose the appropriate terrain dependent on conditions and the ability of the group.

Park either at Chautauqua parking (on the south side of Baseline at about 9th street), or at the Gregory Canyon parking lot.
