Mankind's underdeveloped climbing skills and inability to digest tin cans are two ways in which evolution left humans inferior to goats. It's mind over Matterhorn with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

  • $45 for an introduction to rock-climbing class for one (a $95 value)
  • $70 for an introduction to rock-climbing class for two (a $170 value)

Held at Crowders Mountain State Park, the six- to seven-hour classes focus on basic knots and climbing techniques, safety practices, and vocabulary key to clear communication between climbers and their belayers. Participants need no previous climbing experience, and all necessary equipment is included. Call or visit the website to inquire about dates and schedules.

Thrifty Adventures

When rock-climbing couple Christy and Scott Thrift got engaged, Christy was dangling off the side of Stone Mountain. The same adventurous spirit that elevated their engagement informs their married life, which they spend running their wilderness guiding service, Thrifty Adventures. While some of the duo’s trips require previous outdoor experience, most welcome all participants, and range from ice climbing adventures to rock climbing and backpacking trips. Along the way, Scott and Christy teach safety basics, climbing techniques, and strategies for preserving natural surroundings, such as refraining from nibbling on the mountain.

The Groupon Guide to: Skiing Sayings

Anyone who's spent a significant amount of time around professional skiers will tell you that downhill dunderheads (as they prefer to be called) have their own culture and way of speaking. Here are some phrases you can expect to hear the next time you’re sliding down the slopes:

  • It's all downhill from here!
  • I'm down with downhill skiing!
  • Head downhill, dummy!
  • Hey, look at me! I'm a character on Downhill Abbey!
  • What is that coat made of? Down? Hill ya later!
  • I'm king of the downhill!
  • Just call me Down Hill-ary because I'm the Hillary Clinton of downhill skiing!
  • Powder over chowder!

Who is the main character on the BBC's only show about skiing British royalty? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
