The experience

Four hours on the rock means you get a real sample of climbing without committing to a full day. The guide meets you at a location near Zion and picks the specific climb based on what you tell them you want: more challenge, less intensity, or something in between. All trips are private, so the pace and the route belong to you and your group alone. The guide will contact you the day before to go over what to expect and make sure you're both aiming for the same thing.

You climb with harnesses, helmets, climbing shoes, ropes and anchors all provided. The guide handles the technical setup and safety, so you focus on the climbing itself. If the location isn't working out, the guide will move to a different spot to give you a better experience. At the end, the guide requests your email and sends you pictures of the whole trip.
