Mankind's feeble climbing skills and inability to digest delicious tin cans are two ways that evolution left humans inferior to goats. Channel the hoofed climber within with today's Groupon: for $65, you get a full-day introductory rock-climbing experience from Adventure Forever (a $130 value).

Adventure Forever corrals curious climbers at a designated meeting place, then leads a drive and a short hike to a variety of climb sites chosen according to climbers' skill levels. There, experienced instructors certified through the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides outfit climbers with all the gear needed to tackle nature's gnarly landscapes and bad-day tantrums before leading climbing excursions. Climbers may wear their own athletic shoes or rent climbing shoes ($5) to experience the multiplicity of the cliffs’ granite surfaces, including uneven rock faces, which reward sprawling surmounters with breathtaking valley views. Climbers should bring a lunch and enough water for the nearly six-hour trip or gamble on the spotty service of mountain hot-dog vendors.
