Front Range Climbing Company is a professional guiding outfitter specializing in rock climbing and canyoneering across Colorado and Utah. The company runs a broad range of experiences, from half-day technique sessions and private full- and half-day climbs at Garden of the Gods to technical multi-pitch objectives like Independence Monument and multi-day canyoneering expeditions in Moab and North Wash.
Guides provide on-route coaching, rappelling instruction, and route selection tailored to each group’s ability — beginner-friendly climbs (including accessible 5.9 routes) are offered alongside intermediate and advanced objectives. Multi-day expeditions include structured logistics such as roundtrip transportation from Golden, CO and most meals included on select trips, while day trips focus on targeted skills, outdoor movement, and memorable summit views.
Trip offerings highlight local areas: Moab adventures feature rock climbing and canyoneering with multiple rappels and technical challenges; Garden of the Gods options include full-day summits and half-day “Vertical Limit” skills clinics; Shelf Road, Red Rock Canyon, Boulder Canyon, North Table Mountain, and Independence Monument round out a regional program covering sport, trad, and canyoneering terrain. FRCC Guides also provide seasonal ice climbing sessions.
Safety, environmental stewardship, and clear trip logistics are emphasized. Front Range Climbing Company uses industry-standard equipment, experienced local guides, and route-specific planning to protect fragile terrain.
