Aid climbing opens up a vertical world that free climbing alone can't access. Big walls, multi day objectives, and routes that demand a completely different set of skills and systems than anything you've learned free climbing. Our Big Wall and Aid Climbing course is the most direct path to developing those skills, covering everything from basic aid placements to the haul systems and wall logistics that make multi day big wall climbing possible.

The course is available as a private, customized curriculum built around your current level and goals. Whether you're stepping into aiders for the first time or preparing for a specific big wall objective, your guide will tailor the curriculum to make sure you're developing the right skills on the right terrain.

Big wall climbing is one of the most demanding and rewarding disciplines in the sport — and the skills developed in this course form the foundation for some of the most celebrated climbing objectives in the world. From Colorado's own walls to iconic destinations like Yosemite, the progression starts here.
