"Private Guided Climbing"

Multi-pitch climbing

ACG specializes in "private guiding". Climbing days are tailor made to fit each clients needs and expectations.  Arizona Climbing Guides goal and time-proven philosophy is to make certain that each day is safe and adventurous.  We believe that "multi-pitch climbing” provides an unforgettable experience as well the most exhilarating climbing day possible.

Arizona Climbing Guides are field tested and exam certified in multi-pitch  guiding on complex terrain by the American Mountain Guides Association www.amga.com

"Basic"

Introductory rock climbing.

The class begins with 'movement on rock' - exercises and bouldering technique. The student then learns the rope handling/ security system (proper use of harness, knots, belaying techniques, anchors and rappelling).

The time-proven  philosophy of "Learn by Doing!" builds self confidence with extensive top-rope belayed climbing on the magnificent granite crags of the Catalina Mountains, just minutes from downtown Tucson.

"From the ground up"

Intermediate/advanced rock climbing.

Our goal is to develop climbers whose skills qualify them as reliable, self-sufficient climbing partners. Setting and equalizing anchors for multi-pitch climbs will ultimately create the skills necessary for "leading" a rock climb of
appropriate difficulty.

Consistent with the Climb Arizona program, the student will also expand his level of self-rescue skills, employing such techniques as "aid" climbing and simple "hauling" systems.
