Description

Salt Lake is a great spot for teens to enjoy outdoor summer fun, and rock climbing is an excellent way for them to do it. Not only will they get a healthy dose of fresh air, they will also acquire strength and confidence. This is why we designed a special 5-day rock climbing program for teens. On this special course in Salt Lake, we take teens on an adventure packed experience designed both for their enjoyment and for their personal growth.

Every day we will start at 10 am. The meeting spot will be decided on by the guide on the previous night depending on weather and group conditions. Then, we will set off on an adventure packed fun day where teens will acquire a variety of rock climbing skills. We will explore different types of rock formations, including Quartzite, Granite, and Limestone. We will also work on techniques such as belaying and multi-pitch climbing, depending on group level. As teens become more familiar with their surrounding environment, and physical abilities, they will also build up on their sense of accomplishment and confidence. Meanwhile, they will also be having fun and interacting with other teens in a healthy environment.

This course is for teens aged 13-17. Previous climbing skills are not necessary. However, we can also organise more advanced groups for those that have tried climbing before. We will at all times be present to help and guide each teen to discover and develop their own potential.

Does a rock climbing course out in nature sound like just the thing for your teen? Are you a teen with a thirst for fun and adventure? Then make sure to book a place on this 5-day climbing course for teens in Salt Lake, Utah!

We also offer a 5-day climbing course for younger groups aged 9-12. Find more information here.

The course runs from Monday to Friday from 10am-4pm. A parent or guardian will need to drop-off and pick up teens at various pre-set trailhead locations in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, e.g. the Gate Buttress Parking area or Storm Mountain Picnic area. Students old enough and licensed to drive themselves may do so. Meeting points will be set the night before by guide depending on weather and group conditions.

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.

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.
