Buena Vista: Rock Climbing Adventure

Join a full-day expedition and uncover the beauty of Colorado through two distinct activities. At the Buena Vista location, climb the Granite Gorge Cliffs next to the outpost. Following a comprehensive orientation on climbing technique, belaying, and equipment, ascend the Rocky Mountains on a top rope climbing course.

With multiple routes to choose from, your guide will lead your group on a climb tailored to accommodate all skill levels. This adventure not only promises an exhilarating experience but also offers the opportunity to refine your climbing skills and marvel at breathtaking Colorado vistas.

Join AVA for incredible aerial adventures in the great Rocky Mountains. Traverse cliffsides like Spiderman, reach the top of your first rock climb, or launch yourself off a platform with nothing but air under your feet.

Kick off your rock-climbing adventure at the Buena Vista Outpost, where you will top rope climb the Granite Gorge Cliffs. As you ascend to lofty heights above the Arkansas River Valley, be rewarded with stunning vistas of the towering 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks and the meandering Arkansas River below.

The scenery on your zipline adventure will also not disappoint, as you again find yourself up high, amidst the Rocky Mountain treetops. The zipline course is seamlessly integrated into the mountainside rather than built on platforms. This provides a unique way to truly immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area.

During the rock-climbing segment of your adventure, with the help from your guide, select from two distinct climbing routes tailored to accommodate beginner or intermediate climbers. Not only is this experience an exhilarating outdoor activity with breathtaking Colorado panoramas, but an opportunity for novice climbers to develop skills in belaying, rappelling, and knot tying.

The zipline course is also ideal for all levels, with kids as young as 7 encouraged to participate. Your entire group will have fun zipping and laughing between the treetops on this six-line adventure course.
