Rock Climbing
There are a number of climbing destinations across the San Luis Valley that offer excellent rock climbing for all ages and abilities. We love to climb and enjoy sharing the places we enjoy with others. Big Meadows is near Wolf Creek Pass and just a short drive from Pagosa Springs or South Fork. Penitente Canyon, a world class sport climbing crag, is just 15 minutes from Del Norte. Our guides are trained or certified by the American Mountain Guides Association and have extensive experience climbing in the locations we guide. Each outing gives climbers the opportunity to learn more about rock climbing, techniques, equipment, and the local area. No experience needed to have a great time!
