Enjoy a privately guided trip climbing the spectacular multi-pitch routes of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada!
Conveniently accessible from Las Vegas, the wilderness of Red Rock is a great place for those who want to escape the bright lights of the bustling Strip. Filled with impressive red rock formations and sandstone peaks, the area has some superb climbing, including some excellent Class IV Climbs. In fact, Epinephrine, Crimson Chrysalis, and Prince of Darkness, three climbs in the area, are listed in Fifty Classic Climbs of North America.
While many associate desert sandstone with crack climbing, the landscape here is actually quite varied, with faces that have many features that make for some great and interesting climbs.
During my privately guided climbing trips to Red Rock, located within Nevada's South Mountains, we will explore some of the great climbs of the area. The exact program will be tailored to your skill level and interests. With a low guide ratio, I'm happy to provide coaching and instruction to fully maximize our time together.
Book now to explore the beautiful natural landscape of Nevada during a privately guided 1+ day climbing trip!
I offer other privately guided outdoor adventures as well: 1+ day Backcountry skiing in the Wasatch Mountains, Utah, Denali (Mt McKinley), 21-day Expedition in Alaska, 10-Day Carstensz Pyramid Climb, One of the Seven Summits!

A Utah native, Todd grew up with a strong passion for skiing and playing in the mountains. Looking to incorporate this passion into a profession Todd attended the University of Utah and earned a bachelors degree from the Parks and Recreation department. He worked in the outdoors as a wilderness instructor teaching survival skills in the Utah desert for many years. In 2000 he began mountain guiding, and has been sharing his passion of the mountains with others ever since.
Todd’s guiding has taken him to many corners of the globe including; Alaska, Asia, Antarctica, Europe, South America and the Western U.S. He is a fully certified IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guide. Other training and certifications include Avalanche level III and Wilderness First Responder.
Climbing with Todd one immediately feels a sense of safety and trust. Todd is a strong and highly competent leader with years of experience leading large expeditions and one on one guiding. He is a skillful teacher and enjoys helping folks accomplish their climbing aspirations.
Some of his notable ascents include; Denali’s Cassin Ridge, a first ascent of the 5000’ west face of Mt. Vinson in Antarctica and the Walker spur on the Grand Jorasses in the Alps.
When he is not traveling Todd enjoys spending time at home in Salt Lake City, Utah climbing and skiing the Wasatch with his wife, climbing partner and fellow guide.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
