<P><FONT color=#600000 face=Verdana>Our Colorado half-day rock climbing trip is a great way to follow an early morning raft trip down our Class IV or V sections of the Arkansas River near Buena Vista. After you have changed into your dry clothes, we set out for our afternoon climbing and rappelling adventure. This trip is a basic trip which will involve beginner or intermediate rock climbing and an introduction to rappelling.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#600000 face=Verdana>We offer rock climbing lessons and guided climbing trips. We provides half-day for the beginner, or intermediate. Our guides will teach you the basics of belaying, rappelling and setting anchors. Whether you want to learn more about the sport of rock climbing so you can do it on your own or you just want to try it for the first time and experience the thrill of climbing, our programs are perfect for you.</FONT></P>
