Boulder Canyon is part of the Front Range’s outdoor playground, just minutes from downtown Boulder. This canyon has it all: single-pitch, multi-pitch, classic trad routes and exciting sport routes, with something for every skill level. A beloved rock climbing location since the early 1950s, it’s no surprise why climbers from all around flock to Boulder Canyon’s crags, cracks and chimneys. In the gorgeous peak months, you’ll enjoy shaded climbing on the hottest days and quick ascents. Thanks to the mile-high elevation and continuous sunshine, you’ll stay warm under Colorado’s bluebird skies even in the cold of winter.

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. So don’t let your perceived lack of strength keep you away from rock climbing — you’ve got what it takes.
No prior experience is necessary. Whether you’ve never donned a harness or you’re a seasoned climber, a guide will help you meet your individual objectives. Above all, your instructor’s number one priority is your safety. As long as you listen to the given instructions, you’ll succeed in completing your climb.
For intermediate to advanced climbers, Boulder 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.
