Private Rock Climbing Trips & Canyoneering Training

Private guiding means the day is built entirely around you — your goals, your pace, your climbing style. No matter if you’re looking to push grades, learn to lead, climb a classic multi‑pitch or just spend an unforgettable day on the rock, UMA custom guiding makes it happen.

Our guides are available daily from March through November and bring deep local knowledge, technical instruction and personalized coaching to every session. Private days accelerate learning and open the door to bigger goals — from desert towers and cracks to alpine objectives in the Tetons, Mt. Rainier, Denali, the Alps, Himalaya and beyond.

Looking to level up your canyoneering skills? UMA offers private instruction on real rock in the Cottonwood Canyons — ideal terrain for practicing anchors, rappelling, rope systems and technical downclimbing. Whether you’re preparing for your first slot canyon or refining advanced techniques, a private guide will help you progress with purpose and efficiency.

Any scheduled course or climb can be taught on a private basis, any day that works for you or your group.
