Rock climbing is a wonderfully complex movement skill that can take you to places that few have dreamed. With modern gear and the correct understanding of its use, it’s an activity that is incredibly safe. Climbing is built on a tradition of mentorship in which knowledge is passed down by an experienced teacher. At Arizona Climbing Guides we have a strong belief in the mentorship program to help future generations of climbers approach the sport with safety and respect. Whether you have years of experience and want to advance your knowledge of technical climbing skills or you’ve never climbed before and would like to learn, we are here for you. Our dedicated guides are American Mountain Guide Association certified with decades of experience.
