Come Rock Climbing with Us!

Rock Climbing in Telluride

Our rock-climbing trips are the San Juan Outdoor School Adventures’ signature experience. Designed for all ages and abilities from 4 year olds to seasoned mountaineers, these outings give you the chance to try out your “spider” skills on real alpine rock.

We offer comfortable first-time climbing experiences for even our most timid guests. Our professional guides will instruct you in the use of harnesses, ropes, and technical-climbing equipment. You will explore the vertical realm with the assistance of a qualified guide.

We have teamed up with Life Feeling Photography, a U.S. Forest Service fully-permitted adventure photographer. Contact Matt Kroll at www.lifefeelingphotography.com so you can go home with professional photos of your Telluride adventure.

In our bouldering clinics, you will have the chance to learn the skills and techniques of the climbing practice.

If you’d like, create a hiking-bouldering combination trip in the Bear Creek Canyon.
