June is packed with opportunities to get outside and climb, including our Thursday Community Climb Nights!

Skip the post-work routine and head to the crag. These evenings are all about getting outside, meeting new climbing partners, and climbing with an internationally certified IFMGA/AMGA Mountain Guide in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Community Climb Nights take place on Thursday evenings all summer long in Boulder from 5:30–7:30 PM and operate through a punch pass system.

Whether you’re looking to build experience outside, meet more people in the climbing community, or just spend your Thursday evening on rock, we’d love to have you out there.

Belaying is one of the handful of first skills climbers learn. Most people learn it once, pass a test, and then rarely think about it again.

But great belaying is much more than simply taking in slack. A good belayer is watching how their climber moves, anticipating when they'll need slack, recognizing when they're entering a crux, and staying ready to react if something goes wrong.

They're also communicating clearly, managing rope efficiently, positioning themselves correctly, and staying focused from the moment their partner leaves the ground until they're safely back on it.

The truth is, the best belayers often go unnoticed because they're making every climb feel smooth, safe, and seamless. That's why we spend time teaching belay technique and safety practices in our courses. Belaying isn't just a box to check before you start climbing; it's one of the most important skills you'll develop as a climbing partner.

What do you think makes a great belay partner?

Most people think they need to get stronger before they can start climbing outside, but the truth is, you just need someone who can guide you.

Every climber starts somewhere. Not knowing the gear, the terminology, or even where to put your feet is completely normal. That's why guided climbing experiences exist.

A good guide helps you:
✔ Learn the basics safely
✔ Build confidence on the wall
✔ Understand equipment and techniques
✔ Focus on having fun instead of figuring everything out yourself

You don't need years of experience inside, or to invest in all the gear, or even to be able to do a pull-up (yes, someone thought they needed to do a pull-up before they could go outside).

You just need the willingness to try something new. We'll help with the rest!

Trad climbing is a pathway to bigger objectives, greater independence, and some of the best routes you'll ever climb.

Our Learn to Lead Trad course is designed for climbers who already have outdoor climbing experience and are ready to start placing gear, building anchors, and leading with confidence. Over two days, you'll gain hands-on instruction and practical experience in the systems that make trad climbing possible.

If you've been following trad routes and wondering when you'll be ready to lead your own, this course was built for that next step.

Questions about whether you're ready? Send us a DM.

Next course is May 30th & 31st. Learn more and sign up with the link below
