| OVERVIEW |
This experience allows guests the opportunity to summit one of our iconic Flatirons outside of Boulder,Colorado. The First, Second, or Third Flatiron all offer around a 1000 ft of climbing adventure with beautiful views of downtown Boulder and its parks. After climbing, you’ll have time to enjoy Boulder’s Pearl Street shops and food for the full Colorado experience.
The Flatirons flank Boulder, Colorado, and have a long history within its community. With a variety of climbing for all difficulty levels, great views, and high-quality rock, you’re always in for an inspiring day out!

| ITINERARY AND PREP |
Pre-Trip call
Our team extends the offer to schedule a call before your guided tour. They will discuss route options for the day, review gear needs, and share a general time plan for the trip. This is also a great way to ask any questions about the day!
Our Morning
You will meet your guide at the Rangers Cottage at Chautauqua and share a quick morning hello, and the day’s itinerary. The team will make any small adjustments to the climbing kit and then take a stroll to our climb.
An integral part of climbing is familiarity with the area and its history. Our team shares some stories about the area, seeking to educate as we approach the climb.
The Climb
After about 30-45 minutes of hiking, we are at the base of the climb! If it’s your first time on a multi-pitch our guides will start with instructions and reminders on gear and its removal, proper hydration, the rope systems, and belaying a leader. After that, finish with a partner check, and then the team climbs!
End Of Day Debrief
At the cars, we focus our attention on the day; sharing the Rose, the Bud, and the Thorn to ruminate more deeply on the experience. It is often customary (but not mandatory) to have a meal back in the town to celebrate the great days spent in the mountains!
Technical Experience
Guests should have general climbing experiences belaying and tying in.
Fitness
Moderate physical fitness is recommended. Climbers should be able to hike and climb for approximately 6 hours while carrying a small pack.
