Intro Rock Climbing

Our half and full day rock climbing programs are the perfect way to get kids and families on the rock.

Looking for a great day in the mountains and an excellent way to round out your Stanley or Ketchum/Sun Valley area vacation? With rock climbing locations conveniently located near Sun Valley and Redfish Lake Lodge, our half and full day rock climbing programs are the perfect way to get kids and families on the rock. We cover basic skills with an emphasis on getting in as much climbing as possible!

Sun Valley

A short drive from the Sun Valley/Ketchum area, Trail Creek Summit offers easily-accessible and spectacular half day rock climbing experience for all abilities. About 40 minutes from Sun Valley, Little Fall Creek is an excellent full day rock climbing venue tucked beneath dramatic peaks of the Pioneer Mountains.

Sawtooths/Redfish Lake Lodge

For half day trips, the Redfish Boulder is conveniently located a short walk from Redfish Lake Lodge. The Boulder has a number of top rope routes ranging from 5.easy to very difficult.

Our full day intro rock climb is a total mountain experience. The Super Slabs are located behind Redfish Lake and are accessed via a ten-minute boat shuttle and a short hike (about an hour) up glacially-sculpted Redfish Canyon. The Slabs offer easy to moderate rock climbing on clean granite in a spectacular setting. Routes range from single to multi-pitch and no previous climbing experience is necessary. The multi-pitch climbs that go to the Super Slabs summit are about 1000’ feet long and typically take 2-4 hours to climb. From the summit the descent is a non-technical hike down a steep trail with a few loose sections. The Slabs are also a great tune-up for bigger routes in the range, such as those on the Elephants Perch and Finger of Fate. And you couldn’t ask for a more scenic backdrop!
