Description

The US state of Colorado holds a collection of prominent peaks, steep slabs and stunning natural scenery.

The southern sections of the Rockies lie within the borders of Colorado. One of the ranges that are part of this section is the Front Range, which runs from the north to south.

The highest peaks in the range include Mount Evans (4,350 meters), which dominates the skyline of the Great Plains, Longs Peak (4,346 meters), protected in the Rocky Mountain National Park, and Pikes Peak (4,302 meters), a granite giant protected as a National Historic Landmark.

Whatever your rock climbing aspirations are, the rugged walls of the Rockies provide the ideal natural playground. Our private trips cater for all, whether you just want to climb one of the handful of iconic walls, or to learn specific skills and techniques, we have you covered.

Some of the best spots where we climb include the canyons of Eldorado, Boulder, and Clear Creek.

The colourful sandstone walls of the Eldorado Canyon have been a prime spot for rock climbing ever since the sport sharply took off in the ‘70s. The easily accessible canyon contains adventurous routes and raw beauty.

The giant granite cliffs of the Boulder Canyon are packed full of climbing opportunities, from single-pitch and multi-pitch climbs to trad climbing routes. On mild and sunny days, its slopes facing south are flooded with warm sunrays, making them prime climbs for sun seekers.

And Clear Creek Canyon provides excellent climbs for intermediates and experts, where you can expect exhilarating climbs on granite, schist and gneiss rock that form slabs, roofs and overhangs.

Each day of climbing typically lasts up to 8 hours, with us meeting at around 8am.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
