For new climbers, clubs offer a great introduction to outdoor climbing, packing in extensive learning and outdoor experience in short, after school sessions. For returning climbers, our experienced guides introduce more advanced climbing techniques, explore new terrain, and encourage athletes to push their limits on both challenging and rewarding routes.

Sunday Full Day Club is the perfect adventure for athletes who are eager to climb outside on real rock! Each week, ABC guides lead participants to local climbing areas for a full day of bouldering or rope climbing. This program provides climbers the opportunity to experience a wide variety of terrain while building confidence and independence in the outdoors. Along the way, students will refine their climbing technique, develop sound risk management practices, and strengthen their decision-making and critical thinking skills in the outdoors.
Sunday Full Day Club opens the door to climbing areas and terrain that our weekday after-school programs don't have time to reach, allowing for longer days, more climbing, and more in-depth instruction. Designed to be more intensive than our After School programs, Sunday Club is an excellent fit for Team ABC athletes and motivated climbers who are eager to challenge themselves, build outdoor experience, and develop their skills on real rock.

FAQs
do participants need prior climbing experience?
No! Our classes are designed for kids of all experience levels, from first time climbers to competitive youth athletes.
Is climbing gear Provided?
Yes! We provide harnesses, helmets, ropes, and climbing shoes if needed. Climbers are welcome to bring their own gear if preferred, we will do a safety check on all gear before it can be used during trips.
What Happens if there is bad weather?
We will always have class no matter the weather! Our guides have been climbing here for many years and are usually able to track the weather and find a suitable location where we are still able to climb. Of course thunderstorms can force us to stop climbing, but usually clear quickly. If the weather prevents us from going outside we will still have club and work on skills in the gym! We have indoor rappelling, rope climbing and bouldering that will keep us busy!
What safety Measures are in place during outdoor climbing?
All trips are led by AMGA Single Pitch Certified Instructors who are also Wilderness First Responders. At ABC we provide guide training and follow strict safety protocols.
what locations do climbers visit?
Our classes climb in Boulder Canyon, Flagstaff, Eldorado Canyon and the Flatirons. The After School Classes visit areas that are either close to the gym or have very short approaches to maximize climbing time. The Sunday Classes are able to explore a wider variety of climbing areas. All the Classes will go bouldering and rope climbing, sometimes we switch off each week and tailor the areas to the interest and ability of the group.
