Your guide will call the day before your trip to confirm details.
Cancel 3 days or more before your trip is scheduled. No refunds for cancellations within 3 days of your trip date.

No. Front Range Climbing Company provides all climbing gear. You can bring your own equipment if you have it, but it is not required.
Bring about 2 quarts (2–3 liters) of water, snacks or lunch, and a small backpack. Pack sunscreen; sunglasses and a camera are optional. Bring a light rain jacket in case of summer thunderstorms.
Wear sturdy sneakers, approach shoes, or Chaco sandals. Expect a slight hike from the parking area to reach the climbs.
First-timers and families seem to find their perfect match here. The guides—particularly Jen, Max, Dolan, and Nathan—get consistent praise for their patience and ability to make nervous climbers feel safe and capable. Multiple reviews mention kids who started scared but finished begging to go first, which speaks volumes about how the team handles anxious moments. Parents appreciate that guides don't just rush people up routes but actually teach the fundamentals, from belaying techniques to gear knowledge. What stands out is how the guides balance professionalism with genuine friendliness. Climbers repeatedly describe feeling like they're out with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a hired instructor. The teaching approach seems tailored to each person's comfort level, and several reviewers mention walking away with skills they can use at home gyms. Garden of the Gods and North Cheyenne Canyon are popular spots, though they'll take you to multi-pitch routes in the Flatirons and Clear Creek Canyon if you're up for more challenge. The booking process is straightforward, and the company provides all necessary equipment including shoes, harnesses, and helmets.
