Climbing Classes
Learning to climb is not like other activities. While climbing can never be made entirely safe; by learning from a certified guide you can improve your ability to recognize and avoid making mistakes so you can enjoy climbing for years to come. We offer a variety of climbing classes to make sure you feel confident when you step out on your own that you know industry best practices and can spend less time at the bottom of the learning curve.
As the sun lights up the peaks , effort replaces routine. Muscles burn, lungs find rhythm 
, and focus sharpens. From first climbs to summit views 
, every moment etches itself into us—elevating our perspective and spirit in a way nothing else can.

Why
Why
With over a decade of leading people in the mountains our certified guides are here to provide you with guidance in pursuing everything climbing has to offer. We offer guided rock, ice, and mountain climbing instruction for beginners and more experienced climbers in venues all over Colorado. We can arrange group climbing tours to some of the most classic climbs in the most classic spots in Colorado. In short we're the real deal.
Real Climbing
Climbing with us—whether rock, ice, or alpine—is an unforgettable experience focused on your safety and enjoyment. Our expert guides push you beyond your limits, ensuring excitement and personal growth. With private trips, you’ll receive tailored coaching that elevates your skills in the safest way possible. We continually offer new opportunities to help you explore all that climbing has to offer.
Real Guides
Our guides are a fundamental aspect of our company. Without their dedication to this profession we could not exist. Not only do they have decades of climbing experience but they've taken the time and effort to be scrutinized and accept feedback in order to participate in AMGA training and gain certifications. Our guides continuously train to provide our guests with the safest experience they can. It's not just writing on a website, we've got the resumes and pictures to prove it! Our guides have made the difficult choice to pursue guiding as a career and are constantly trying to improve and gain more skills to provide their guests the best experience.
Real Training
Surprisingly, in most states, it requires more licensing and certification to be a hairdresser than to be a guide holding someone's life in their hands at the end of a rope. Not to worry, because all of our guides are required to obtain American Mountain Guides Association certifications and training. While many will pad their roster with inexperienced and uncertified guides we turn away many applicants due to lack of experience and no certifications. In addition to requiring outside training, we also require internal training to make sure our guides can continue in this career at the highest standards.
Life-changing
Everybody loves a bargain but when we look back on our lives it's the experiences that we remember. From a child's first rock climb to a a seasoned skiers first powder turns we want the most for our guests. We want climbing with us to be one of the most memorable and fun experiences of your life. You may never climb again but when you're with our guides you can be comfortable knowing that you will be with people dedicated to giving you the best experience they can in some of the most amazing places we call home. The comments and reviews our customers write leave no doubt we are giving them that greater life experience.

The Colorado Climbing Company did a phenomenal job. I’ve used a lot of guiding services all over the world, and this was without a doubt one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The guide did a great job of keep it challenging while always making sure it was 100% safe and keeping me well informed of everything that was going on. I climbed two weekends in a row and both days were perfect!

I booked a guided climbing trip for 8 people at Garden of the Gods with The Colorado Climbing Company. We all had varying skill sets which made it challenging for our guides to figure out how to accommodate us all but they did a great job and we all had a blast. Some of us were able to lead climb for the first time and some of us did our first multipitch climb which was awesome to get to experience something new in such a beautiful setting. Communicating before the trip was fast and easy and the guides were all super nice and explained everything clearly so we always felt safe. I would highly recommend climbing at Garden of the Gods with The Colorado Climbing Company if you're planning a trip to Colorado Springs...it was a unique way to experience the nature without having to commit to driving into the mountains.

Safety was obviously top priorities for both parties involved. Their professionalism and superb communication made me confident and comfortable in their skill. I informed them of my goals prior to climbing & he chose routes that would exceed my expectations and enhance my ability to learn new skilks and technique. Unlike climbing with strangers I felt I was climbing with real friends and real partners that pushed me way past what I would have pushed me in a healthy way while resurrecting my boundaries as all friends/partners/guides should! I would highly recommend these guys whatever your style and skill set . If you're brand new or climbing outdoors for the first time these guys will show you the ropes in a safe, solid, way!

Had an amazing experience climbing in Eldorado Canyon with Josh! This was my first ever multi-pitch climb and Josh made me feel safe and comfortable every step of the way. His knowledge of climbing and safety showed, and I appreciate all the awesome pics he took along the way! Stoked!!! Thanks Colorado Climbing Company!

I climbed the Crestone Traverse in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with Jeremiah in August 2023, owner of the Colorado Climbing Company. Jeremiah was an outstanding guide. Besides utilizing his expertise on the climb, he cooked pizza for dinner and provided bagels for breakfast. He was a great instructor, had a sense of humor, and was patient. He is also an incredibly skilled alpinist. I used several guides this summer on technical climbs and my experience with him was unsurpassed. I highly recommend The Colorado Climbing Company for all of your climbing adventures in Colorado.

I’ve climbed with Colorado Climbing Company twice when visiting family in the Grand Junction area— at Unaweep Canyon and Colorado National Monument. Both were amazing experiences! Each time, my guides Luc and Nico were very friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and always made me feel safe even with my limited climbing experience. They were super helpful in teaching techniques and always encouraging me to get to the top! Jeremiah is always very helpful and responsive during the booking process, from recommending routes and even helping me reschedule when the weather didn’t cooperate. Pricing is extremely fair for the unforgettable experiences you get in return. I’ll continue to use Colorado Climbing Co whenever I’m back in CO!

Holy smokes, these guys ROCK ( literally 😆🧗🏽♀️🧊) A huge shoutout to Olivia who was my ice climbing guide in Lake City. I am pretty new to ice climbing and I felt like this trip helped me grow tremendously. She was not only a master at all things ice climbing, but was a fantastic teacher. Learning knots, in addition to the art of ice climbing, can be overwhelming but she made it such a blast. We had an 8 hour trip and she somehow managed to keep me pumped the whole time. And as a new climber, she made it such a safe place to learn and ask ALL the questions. I’ve used plenty of guiding services before but these guys are definitely my top choice.

I climbed for half a day at Garden of the God's with CO Climbing Co. It was the best day of my trip to Colorado Springs. The guide had a great knowledge of safety and climbing tips as well as an excellent knowledge of the plants and animals in the area. I loved my trip so much that I am considering moving to CO!!! Use this company if you want a great climbing experience!

I participated in an ice climbing trip Jeremiah was fantastic and provided the best experience we could have asked for. The small group setting was great and my girlfriend and I both got to spend the whole day on the wall. He also took the time to not only tell us what to do, but teach us how and why. I would highly recommend this company for any level of climber.

My wife and I recently booked a climb with The Colorado Climbing Company for a climb up the first Flatiron outside Boulder. We have a healthy amount of single pitch sport climbing experience, but hadn't done any trad climbing or multi-pitch. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area, showed great proficiency with setting anchors and protection, and was overall a fun guy to hang out with. We would happily book another trip with them in the future, and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in climbing in Colorado.
