  • Adults
  • For Beginners (Getting Started Series)

We will be Climbing at the Garden of the Gods from 2 until Dusk.  Meet at the South parking lot at 2pm or you can meet up down on the east face of Kindergarten Rock.  We will be doing lappage on the popular routes on the east face.  The easiest route is 5.7+ so you need to be feel comfortable climbing at that grade or higher.

Bring Standard climbing gear.

Don't forget to grab a free online climbing permit: https://coloradosprings.gov/parks/webform/rock-climbing-permit

This is not a class and all participants should have the knowledge, either through a CMC class or personal experience, to safely complete these activities.

Thursday night climbing is moving to Fridays this year to allow for more flexibility in the types and length of climbs. Initially, we will have the first 3-4 climbs in Colorado Springs area. We will move to more regional venues like Turkey Rock, Shelf Road, and other climbs. Lastly, we will be doing full day multi pitch to destination climbing areas. We will do fairly easy multi pitch climbs in the 5.6-5.9 range and likely hit the classics. Those who have participated throughout the year will be given priority for multi pitch climbs.
