We booked a private lead climbing class with Andy and it was great!
Andy is very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and helped us gain confidence for our outdoor climbing adventures to come.

PRIVATE ROCK CLIMBING and Instruction

We offer private rock climbing 7 days a week for individuals, groups, or families! Do you want to get outside and see what climbing is all about, but don’t want to worry about the stress of a group? Do you want a special event with your family? Are you looking to learn skills or climb an objective outside of our normal group offerings? Then look no further!

Our private events are designed to cater to your specific goals for the day. Each Trip is structured with you and your objectives in mind, and we will work with you to design a day that you will love!

Private Guiding can be instructional or experiential in nature. We can focus on technical skills, focus on the climbing, or any combination of the two!

Have you been looking to get outside climbing but don’t know where to start? Look no further, book today with us and see the Small Cliffs Difference!

WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE DIFFERENT:

We pride ourselves in meeting you where you are at, taking the time to understand your goals and motivations, and curating a day that fits them to the best of our ability. A private guided trip allows for more individualized attention than a group class, and ensures that your learning or experience is paramount. We work with anyone, from first timers, to large groups, to those looking to advance their skills, we can curate a day that you’ll be stoked about!
