Garden of the Gods is one of the gems of the Front Range climbing scene and as the only certified guides operating in the park, we are excited to show you the best climbing it has to offer. This National Natural Landmark is located in Colorado Springs and features amazing sandstone spires jutting hundreds of feet into the air. The sandstone spires against the blue skies feature everything from beginner slabs climbs to difficult cracks and desert towers. All with Pikes Peak as the backdrop as you climb while falcons fly through the area and mule deer occasionally wander by. There are a variety of climbs that make this an excellent location for beginners as well as more challenging trips for climbers with more experience. With the pleasant weather of Colorado Springs fall and spring is one of the best times to climb. Note: Because of the soft sandstone in the event of significant precipitation within 24-48 hours trips may need to be relocated or rescheduled.

A: Yes, kids can definitely join the guided climbs, but they usually recommend that participants be at least 8 years old. It’s really about their ability to follow instructions and stay safe.

A: Comfortable athletic wear is key! You’ll want something that allows you to move freely, like leggings or shorts, and a moisture-wicking shirt. Don’t forget a light jacket in case it gets breezy. And you don’t have to worry about shoes since they provide climbing shoes, but make sure to wear good socks!

Just finished my guided rock climbing in Garden of the Gods!

OMG, I just got back from the full day guided rock climbing experience at Garden of the Gods, and it was AMAZING! We climbed some of those beautiful sandstone spires with Pikes Peak in the background. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made sure everyone felt comfortable. I’m relatively new to climbing, but they had routes for all skill levels. I can’t wait to go back and bring some friends for a gift experience!

Considering gifting the rock climbing experience for my partner's birthday!

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about gifting the Full Day Guided Rock Climbing in Garden of the Gods for my partner's birthday. They're adventurous but have never climbed before. Is this a good fit for beginners? Also, how much time should I set aside if they want to check out the park after?
