Multi Pitch Climbing
Multi pitch climbing in Colorado is an excitingly different way to experience climbing that involves ascending the rock more than one rope length off of the ground. The lead climber climbs up the rock, establishing intermittent anchors to secure their party to, effectively “pitching” out the route. Using this method, the climbing group can ascend to any height, only limited by time and ability.
From beginner to advanced climbers, tying knots, evaluating anchors, climbing efficiently and placing gear properly are just a few of the skills learned when climbing rock towers and multi-pitching. If you’re looking to build your knowledge and skills in the climbing environment, this is a great way to get the full package.
Enjoy a lower angle and steady climb up the Flatirons, climb the edge of the Colorado Plateau in The Colorado National Monument, or challenge yourself on a spire in the famous Fisher Towers or Castle Valley. We have the great fortune of being centered amidst some of the best climbing in the country, and these mountain and desert multi pitch towers are known as some of the most spectacular tower climbs in the world.
One of our most incredible and most unforgettable experiences is an overnight stay on top of a 12 foot wide desert tower summit! Climb this 500 foot tower, anchor in on top for the night, then wake to watch the sun rise over western Colorado. Make multiple rappels to the ground and enjoy a beautiful and reflective morning hike out of the desert. This trip just might change you. Seriously.
You’ll know why these formations have a reputation as some of the most exciting rock towers around when you stand on the summit. Multi pitch climbing a desert or mountain rock tower is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
“We had a great time climbing the Flat Irons. It was the perfect mix of a challenging ascent, relaxing moments on the rock, and fun/safe guides.”
