Overnight Wasatch Climbs - Utah Rock Climbing
Overnight Climbs
Some of our favorite Wasatch climbs are high up in our mountain cirques and require a long approach. Plan on a day's hike to reach a flower filled meadow or a high mountain lake where you will enjoy a quiet night under the stars.
Get up early the next day to climb, descend, break camp and hike back down to civilization.
Custom or private guiding means you have a guide dedicated to you or your group rather than being in a class or clinic that is open to other guests.
UMA's outstanding guides and instructors are available daily to lead climbs and help guests progress in any and all aspects of climbing.

Thanks for a fantastic day. Todd Passey is a world class guide. He found great lines and snow. Most importantly he kept me safe. Todd was so impressive at navigating the elements and knowing all of the variables. Thanks for an experience I will not forget.

I wanted to let you know what a fantastic time Janet and I had with Todd Glew. His guiding, route choices and knowledge of the area were excellent and, not least of all, he was great company and we really enjoyed hanging out with him. And as for my last day with Todd skiing the Y Couloir . . . that will forever be one of the most memorable days skiing of my life. Wow!!

Quino is a wonderful guide - did a great job taking us up Cardiff pass, couple runs on the slopes north of the pass, and then back to Alta. Quino was great - easy going, set the right pace so that we could all keep up, picked a good route for us. Just perfect - many thanks for having him guide us.
