FAQs
Do I need prior rock climbing experience?
No experience is necessary. Many guests are trying outdoor climbing for the first time. Your guide will teach you everything you need to know, starting with the basics and building up from there at a pace that feels comfortable.
How many climbs will I get to do?
That depends on the length of your trip, group size, and how long you want to spend on each climb. Most guests get multiple climbs in, with time to rest and refine skills between attempts.
What if I am afraid of heights?
That is very common, and many people find this to be a great way to work through it. You are always on a rope system with a guide managing your safety. You can climb as high as you feel comfortable and take breaks whenever you need.
What kind of climbing will we do?
Moab offers a variety of climbing styles, including face climbing and crack climbing. Your guide will choose routes based on your experience and what you are interested in learning or trying.
What makes Moab climbing unique?
Moab’s sandstone creates a completely different experience compared to indoor gyms or other rock types. The texture, features, and surrounding desert scenery make it both visually stunning and technically interesting to climb.
Can I come along and watch my friends or family?
Yes, spectators are welcome. We just ask that they sign a waiver and wear a helmet while near the climbing area for safety.
How much instruction will I get?
As much as you want. Some guests prefer a more casual experience, while others want to dive into technique and skill-building. Because the trip is private, your guide can tailor the level of instruction to your goals.
Will we be in the sun or shade?
That depends on the season and time of day. Your guide will choose climbing areas that maximize comfort, whether that means seeking shade in the summer or sun in cooler months.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy
Groups of less than 10 people: All of your money will be refunded if you cancel prior to two weeks before your trip date. If you cancel within two weeks of your trip, but outside of 48 hours, you’ll be charged a $20/person deposit. Cancellations made within 48 hours of your trip will not be refunded.
Groups of 10 or more people: A 10% deposit is required at the time of booking. This is non-refundable, unless our guides cancel due to weather. The remaining balance is due within 48 hours of the trip date.
Late Arrivals: Although our tours are private, and we will accommodate late arrivals as we can, occasionally a late arrival can cause tours later in the day and/or shuttle logistics to be affected. Because of this, we reserve the right to cancel your tour if you arrive more than 30 minutes after your scheduled reservation time. If a tour is canceled because of a late arrival, a refund will not be issued.
Weather: Full refunds are given if your guide cancels your trip due to bad weather. Our guides will make the final "go/no go" decision based on the safety of your group. If you decide to cancel because of uncomfortable weather, our standard cancellation policy will apply.
Travel Insurance: If you believe there is a chance that you will have to cancel your tour within the non-refundable 24-hour cancellation period, we strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance. We are not affiliated with any insurance companies, but can recommend www.travelexinsurance.com.
