Rock Climbing 101 is a two day outdoor climbing camp for adults who want to build a real foundation on Colorado rock. It is designed for beginners and newer climbers who want more than a quick sampler and are ready to learn the basic systems behind safe outdoor climbing.

Over the course you will practice movement, belaying, rappelling, knots, gear use, communication, and introductory top rope anchor concepts with AMGA certified instructors. The goal is to connect each skill to the way climbing actually works outside, not just memorize steps.

This is a strong starting point if you want to climb outdoors more confidently, transition from the gym, or understand what skills come next. You leave with a clearer path forward and practical experience on real terrain.
