Pre-Adventure Trip Call:

Our team extends the offer to schedule a call before your guided tour. They will discuss route options for the day, review gear needs, and share a general time plan for the trip. This is also a great way to ask any questions about the day!

Morning:

Meet at a local cafe and share a quick morning hello, and the day’s itinerary. The team will make any small adjustments to the kit and then take a stroll to our climb.

An integral part of climbing is familiarity with the area and its history. Our team shares some stories and educates as we approach the climb.

The Climb:

Instructions and reminders on gear and its removal, proper hydration, the rope systems, and belaying will be covered. We finish with a partner check, and then the team climbs!

End Of Day Debrief:

At the cars, we focus our attention on the day; sharing the Rose, the Bud, and the Thorn to ruminate more deeply on the experience. It is often customary ( but not mandatory) to have a meal back in the town to celebrate the great days spent in the mountains!
