We're surrounded by vertical terrain in the Arkansas Valley, and we want to show you "the ropes!" AVA offers half-day rock climbing lessons and guided climbing trips for the beginner or intermediate climber.

In six extraordinary days, we discover waterfalls, buffalo herds, and thundering geysers in Yellowstone, a premier geological treasure. In the Tetons, we rock climb, bike backroads and raft the Snake River's fun-filled rapids.

Our Half-Day Rock Climbing adventure can be an excellent introduction into rock climbing or an informative refresher. Regardless of your experience, we cover the essentials: equipment use and care, knots and rope work, basic belaying and descending.

Rocky Mountain National Park and surrounding wilderness areas are the showstoppers of the West! Enjoy spectacular alpine hiking, off-the-beaten-path biking, world-class rock climbing and whitewater rafting or kayaking on the mighty Colorado River.

This program is designed to give participants solid climbing skills and judgment in a safe, fun environment. Our low instructor to student ratio allows us the flexibility to accommodate individual goals and expectations. No previous experience necessary.
