Do I need climbing experience to join a private trip?

Not at all. Most of our guests are beginners or gym climbers trying outdoor rock for the first time. Your private guide will match routes to your comfort level and teach you knots, belaying, and climbing technique.

Is private climbing good for families or mixed groups?

Yes. Private trips are especially popular with families and groups where some are eager to climb and others are a little nervous. With a dedicated guide, everyone can climb at their own pace and choose routes that fit their ability.

What gear is included?

We provide all technical equipment: climbing shoes, helmets, harnesses, and ropes. You’ll just need to bring comfortable clothing you can move in, closed-toe shoes for the approach hike, water, and sunscreen.

How long does the trip last?

A private rock climbing trip lasts about 5 hours, including the approach hike, instruction, and time on the wall. Morning and afternoon departures are available.

What’s the minimum and maximum group size for private climbing?

We can run a private climbing trip for as few as two guests or as many as 10–12. If you have a larger group, we can arrange extra guides so everyone gets plenty of climbing time.

Can we request specific climbs or difficulty levels?

Yes. Your guide will choose routes based on your goals and experience, whether you want easy climbs for kids, a challenge to push your limits, or a mix of both. With a private trip, the focus is entirely on your group.

Is climbing good for kids or older adults?

Yes, within reasonable limits. Kids as young as 5 can often climb with help, and older adults can participate at a pace that feels comfortable. Guides are trained to adapt to a wide range of abilities and make sure everyone feels secure.

How do we book a private rock climbing adventure?

You can request a date directly online or by calling our team. Because private climbing is popular in peak season, we recommend reserving early to guarantee your preferred date.
