At Denver Mountain Guiding, we are offering youth climbing opportunities for kids, ages 11-16, that are looking to take their climbing to the next level by pushing themselves outside. Throughout the season we will be posting trips and climbing days to this page. In order to sign up for one of our youth climbing days or trips, you must met the prerequisites below.
Located on the Western Slope, close to the town of Rifle, Rifle Mountain Park is home to world-class sport climbing! The narrow canyon offers tall, breathtaking walls that are perfect for youth climbers to cut their teeth on! Jam packed with hundreds of steep to overhanging limestone walls and caves, this location is for the intermediate to advanced sport climbers looking to really push themselves. This is a three day trip, Monday through Wednesday, and takes place once a month in the summer. We have a June, July, and August option available to choose from, or come with us on all of the trips!
