Mountain Skills Rock Guides, LLC

My 17 year old Owen had an amazing time climbing with Jake in Calico Basin at Red Rocks! Owen is on the climbing team in Santa Fe and is very experienced in top rope and bouldering in a gym setting - this was his first real outdoor single pitch experience. Jake started him on a V8 and they methodically worked up to a V12 with top notch instruction for each of the climbs. Mountain Skills Guides are the best in the business in terms of safety, skill, and professionalism - and just really, REALLY good people.

So grateful we found Mountain Skills Rock Guides. We were scheduled with Thomas who did a phenomenal job at challenging our rock-crazy son while still keeping it accessible for my husband and I. Our son walked away with new skills after having a great day on the rock. We had climbed in the area the two days prior to climbing with Thomas, and Thomas was well known by the other local climbers we ran into. His knowledge of the area was clearly displayed as he led our family through a great day.
