Yes. Your guide will call you the day before your tower climb to touch base and confirm details. Watch for a call from an unfamiliar number.
A final decision may be made before or at the scheduled meeting time as conditions develop. Your climb may be delayed, relocated, modified, shortened, or canceled for safety, including lightning, high winds, or unsafe rock conditions.
Bring 2–3 liters of water, snacks or lunch, a small backpack, sunscreen, and a light rain jacket. Wear sturdy sneakers, approach shoes, or Chaco sandals for the short hike to the climbing area. Sunglasses and a camera are optional. You're welcome to bring your own climbing equipment, but it's not required.
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.
