 Scheduled Climbing Courses

 

Here is a list of our scheduled climbing courses. We have created this service to accommodate a growing demand for affordable climbing courses. These courses will introduce new skills and new awareness, that will help you to: optimize your vacation time, build your confidence as a climber, and help you climb more pitches without using your head lamp.

To keep costs down for everyone only three general skill sets are being advertised as scheduled courses. These three courses will be held from November though April on Wednesday through Friday.

 

Foundations Level Course: Our beginner course is for adventurous travelers who have not climbed at all. Foundations is the most basic skill set. This is a one day course. Click here for more info

 

Better Multi-Pitch Climbing Course: From the beginning, climbers have wanted to "SUMMIT!". Here is your chance to learn the art of summiting from a professional mountain climber. Anyone with 12 quick draws and as ATC can multi-pitch in El Potrero Chico. Learn how to use your tools: safer, smarter, and BETTER!         Click here for more info

 

Self Rescue Course: Every responsible climber should take this course. It will cover the basic information required to effectively extricate a hurt climbing partner from multi-pitch terrain.  If you are at all scared of "getting stuck" while climbing rocks; this course will help you gain the confidence you need push through. This can be a one two or three day course. It can be held on any day of the week. Cost: $50usd per day per person

Our guides can help ensure that your family climbing trip to Mexico is safer, easier, and more enjoyable. They will help you find climbs appropriate to your family’s climbing level and help ensure everyone’s safety. They can set up challenging climbs for your fearless eleven-year old that you’d rather not lead. Climb alongside your children and cheer their progress, as our guide coaches their climbing techniques. Or, have your children cared for by our qualified daycare specialist , while you work with a guide to improve your technique. If you have time, try a few days of each. Whatever your needs, our guides will accommodate your personal agenda and provide you with the one-on-one coaching needed to achieve your goals.

All guided family days are by appointment. Please contact us to schedule a day/s of climbing at your convenience.
