Among Boulder, Colorado’s most iconic landmarks are the Flatirons. Located in Chautauqua Park, these large rock formations jut out just to the west of the city and serve as the very gatekeepers to the Rocky Mountains.

Named because they somewhat resemble the Flatiron building in Manhattan, these massive monoliths offer an unforgettable day of rock climbing for participants of every level.

With more than 1,000 feet (~300 meters) of climbing available, the Flatirons are home to some of the best and longest multi-pitch climbing for beginners in the entire country!

However, the Flatirons also boast numerous other moderately angled faces and steep, unique climbs, meaning there is plenty here to keep intermediate and advanced climbers occupied as well.

On the day of our trip, we will meet first thing in the morning in order to maximize our time out in the rocks. A bit of hiking is required to get to the base of them, but that is not a problem as it is pretty easy and very scenic.

There are five Flatirons overall, which should be plenty to keep us busy for an entire day of climbing and, possibly, even more!

So what are you waiting for? Book now for a fun and exciting day of rock climbing up the iconic Flatirons in beautiful Boulder, Colorado!

1+ day Rock climbing in the Flatirons, near Boulder, CO

Spend a couple days mountain climbing in the Rockies and summit Longs Peak in Colorado! This two-day mountaineering program takes you 4,346 meters high and into jaw-dropping scenery that will surely cultivate your passion for climbing!

Longs Peak is loaded with intrigued, from climbs and climbers to history and culture. Located in the Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness, it is the tallest peak of the park and, at 14,259 feet, it belongs to Colorado’s exclusive 14er club – mountains exceeding 14,000 feet. It was first climbed in 1868, since becoming such a popular mountain that it is featured on the Colorado quarter.

Your two-day program is the best way to mountaineer this goliath, allowing you an overnight and sunrise ascent. We will leave early the first day, trekking almost nine kilometers over five to seven hours before making it to the Boulderfield and setting up camp at about 3,810 meters. Getting to bed early in the shadow of the summit will set us up for a successful summit early the following morning, rife with sunrise splendor. We can even leave the camp set up while making the summit push and travel to the top with just lightweight packs.

Over the course of the trip, we will gain over 1,500 meters in elevation. We can take the standard and popular Keyhole Route to the peak, or the Cable Route via the North Face. The Keyhole winds around the mountain with scrambling routes and includes the Ledges, the Trough, and the Narrows. Once at the Boulderfield, we also have the option to take the more technical Cable Route up the North Face. This is the most direct trail to the top and features a fun combination of traverses and 5.4 (M2) climbing for capable and ambitious climbers.

This is a challenging and rewarding mountaineering objective, so experience and a high fitness level are crucial to getting the most out of this trip. While climbing is available year round, the best conditions are available during spring, summer and autumn. We will focus on having a safe, satisfying, and all-around fun experience climbing Longs Peak and giving you the time of your life in a classic landscape in the United States.

Longs Peak, 2-day Climb in the Rocky Mountain National Park

Once a former way station for miners making the trip from Denver into the Rockies, Boulder has become a haven for outdoor adventurers of all types!

Rock climbing is especially popular in and around the city. Eldorado Canyon provides one of the best and most scenic spots around Boulder to practice this fun and exciting outdoor sport.

In order to ensure that we have enough time to get a full day of rock climbing in as well as see some of this beautiful canyon, we will meet up and head out to the canyon first thing in the morning.

Located 15 minutes outside of Boulder, the canyon is composed of hard sandstone and has a plethora of different climbing options. There are single-pitch crags that are perfect for beginners as well as multi-pitches as high as 700 feet (~200 meters).

Complete with large slabs, thin faces, cracks, corners, and big overhangs, there is no shortage of climbing to be done throughout the canyon. Some of the single-pitch crags are right at the entrance, while others require a bit of a hike to get to.

However, this is not a bother as the the views are even more scenic the farther into the canyon that you go.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for a superb day of rock climbing in the stunning scenery of Eldorado Canyon outside of Boulder, Colorado!
