Estes Park sits at the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, putting some of the most celebrated alpine, rock climbing, and backcountry skiing objectives in the country within easy reach. The park's concentration of quality routes and terrain across so many different environments is unmatched in Colorado. From the legendary Diamond on Longs Peak to classic alpine routes on Hallett Peak, Notchtop, and Petit Grepon that have defined American mountaineering for generations.

The climbing spans an extraordinary range of styles and commitment levels. Technical big wall routes on the Diamond sit at one end of the spectrum, while approachable alpine ridge climbs and single-pitch rock routes offer entry points for climbers earlier in their development. Lumpy Ridge adds world-class traditional climbing right at the edge of town, and the park's high alpine terrain opens up exceptional backcountry skiing through the winter and spring.

Colorado Climbing Company guides know the Estes Park area well. From the logistics of an early alpine start on Longs Peak to the best lines for a first backcountry ski descent. Whether you're targeting a specific objective or looking for guidance on where to start, there's no better base for a mountain adventure than Estes Park.
