Tour Description

Come check out what makes Moab rock climbing so unique! The sandstone landscapes surrounding us have eroded into a virtual playground of walls, towers, ridges and canyons. Rock Climbing in Moab can be good any time of the year. We chase shade in the summer and sun in the winter. With several different crags to choose from, we can cater to everyone’s abilities and goals. Since no one will ever be added to your group, our guides will truly give you their undivided attention and expert instruction.

We provide all the technical gear that you'll need for your day of climbing with us, except climbing shoes. Shoes are available for rent at our shop - please let us know if you will need to rent a pair.
