On this half-day program that caters to your skill level and interests, you will advance your rock climbing career on the gorgeous and gratifying routes up and down one of the most exciting destinations for climbers in the country!

While many people known Las Vegas and Nevada for other reasons, this southwestern gem of the United States boasts one of the most magnificent rock formations known to adventurers: Red Rock Canyon. This National Conservation Area sprawls over the region, covering nearly 200,000 acres of public land.

Your program seamlessly blends the aesthetic beauty and technical thrills of Red Rock over the course of an afternoon. Within a half-day of climbing, you can exercise your climbing talents on admirable rock formations under the instruction of certified guides who are also local experts.

Beginners will focus on the basics like terminology, equipment use, and movement techniques. The course will include fundamental information that will help your passion for climbing grow and set you up for success on future climbs.

Rock climbers with experience can find intermediate and advanced routes of every shape and size.

You will learn how to work more difficult routes throughout the vast area of Red Rock and hone movement techniques to round out your rock climbing ability.

All of the programs take place in the stunning scenery of Red Rock Canyon, one of the top places to take your rock climbing proficiency to the next level. This place is special to us, and our goal is always to instill this excitement and appreciation for the region in our participants.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
