Let’s face it, there is always more to learn in the climbing world. A climbing class or clinic taught by professional guides is a great way to show your loved one some support!
Classes are a great way to learn industry standard “Best Practices”, or refresh your skills before an upcoming trip.
Some of the most popular classes we teach are Self Rescue, Gym to Crag, and Intro to Trad.

Embrace your crafty side and show your climber friend how much you care with a homemade gift this holiday season.
There are endless opportunities to repurpose retired climbing and make everything from coatracks, rope bowls to even keyring holders. It can be as easy as grabbing a few carabiners and a piece of wood, or as tough as breaking out the miter saw to make those fine, intricate cuts. That’s the beauty of DIY! Check out the homemade coat hanger Golden Mountain Guides owner, Ben made from a scrap piece of fence wood and carabiners.
An experience is always worth more than any gift and climbing is no exception! Every climber has a dream route or ticklist and you can help them achieve their goal.
Hiring a guide makes it easy to get on that special dream route. Many days out are 100% custom-tailored towards skill level, climbing ability, and goals!
We offer many “Classic Climbs” and guide many iconic routes in the Denver Area and Moab Desert. For some of the awesome routes we guide, check out our rock climbing page here. Now sure what day will work for their schedule? Get them a gift card to book their own adventure! BONUS: Buy a Golden Mountain Guides gift card during the month of December and we’ll send you a free shirt to gift with their present.
Still not sure what to gift this year? Let your climber choose by getting them a gift card. Some of our favorites are Black Diamond, Bentgate Mountaineering, and REI.
Gift cards take the pressure off you and allow your special someone to get exactly what they want. And the best part? Most companies even do digital certificates!
