Led by AMGA-certified instructors, the **Taste of Rock Climbing** is a 3–4 hour introduction that teaches the fundamentals of climbing movement, knots, belaying, and rappelling—all on real rock.
Your guide will choose the perfect climbing area based on your group’s size, experience, and comfort level. With exclusive access to more local sites than any other operator, KMAC can offer a range of climbing locations—from short beginner routes to fun, scenic cliffs overlooking the Estes Valley.
