Boulder Climbing – Guided Rock Climbing in Eldorado Canyon & The Flatirons

Iconic Front Range Climbing

Boulder, Colorado is one of the great climbing cities in America, and the two destinations that put it on the map are Eldorado Canyon State Park and the Flatirons. Eldorado Canyon’s steep canyon walls offer over 500 routes on bomber sandstone conglomerate — from classic single-pitch sport routes to committing multi-pitch trad lines like The Naked Edge and the Yellow Spur. The Flatirons, visible from anywhere in Boulder, provide a different experience: long, moderate slab routes on tilted sandstone formations with sweeping views of the Front Range. Together, they offer some of the most varied and accessible climbing anywhere in Colorado. The Mountain Guides Colorado runs all Boulder-area climbing out of our Front Range base, with AMGA-accredited guides who climb here year-round.
