Rock Climbing Classes, Camps & Scheduled Climbs
Utah Mountain Adventures offers a variety of pre-scheduled group rock climbing courses to learn the necessary skills to climb safely and confidently, no matter your level. We teach beginners how to identify handholds and footholds, move comfortably on rock, tie knots, coil a rope, understand climbing signals and belay. Our guides teach advanced climbers, who are confident leading sport, how to take the next step to lead cracks with traditional gear (cams and nuts).
UMA offers course progressions in single and multi-day formats and — for those looking for an adventure — UMA guides lead scheduled climbs on Mt. Superior and Mt. Olympus. We also hold youth climbing camps on 4 separate weeks throughout the summer. Whatever your level, age or interest, UMA has an outdoor rock climbing course for you!
