refine your skills and break new ground

Our Progressive Rock courses take beginning and intermediate climbers to the next level of understanding and ability. We custom-tailor each course to fit your experience and current capabilities. Starting there, we push forward into new realms, facilitating a stronger command of body mechanics, technical theory, and risk management. All the curriculum is applied immediately, providing you opportunity to practice new concepts, experiment with your climbing style, and clarify ideas with your instructor. If you seek new horizons in climbing, consider spending a Half- or Full-Day with us to expand your ability and vision on rock. “I wanted to thank you again for an excellent adventure you took myself and John Gannon on. We really enjoyed it and considered it the highlight of our 9 day stay in Zion. Since our Zion trip, I've had the opportunity to go on a couple of climbing trips. With the knowledge I gained working with you, my overall comfort on the rock has improved greatly. This last weekend I was able to lead 100' of a 5.8 pitch for the first time.” Eric Downing
