What You'll Get
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.

The Boulder branch of Jackson Hole Mountain Guides lead guided climbs for all levels and rock-climbing courses that range from introduction to climbing to classes that cover advanced climbing techniques. Guides lead small groups of climbers to one of the three main climbing areas surrounding the city: Boulder Canyon, Eldorado Canyon State Park, or the Flatirons. At any one of these sites, climbers find a diverse array of difficulties, allowing for progressive improvement as they learn to clamber over sandstone and granite slabs, overhangs, cracks, and faces. While Jackson Hole Mountain Guides provides the belay, carabiners, helmet, ropes, and rack, each participant should be sure to bring a lunch and snacks, water, and appropriate clothing.
