About
Alpine climbing is all about tagging peaks high in the mountains. Anticipate consistent movement on big outings and some time spent in exposed positions! In summer most routes can be travelled with sticky rubber approach shoes while in winter mountain boots and crampons are needed (or sometimes skis). Join us for a technical romp in the hills!
Spend a full day out climbing in the remarkable Wasatch Range. Each trip is tailored to the specific interests and skills of the group. We have access to a multitude of single pitch crags which work well for sport climbing and skills development as well as access to a variety of adventure-laden, classic traditional multi-pitch routes.
