FULL OR HALF DAY CLIMB

Drive up a large glacially carved valley, where the pioneers navigated large wagon trains back in the day. About 30 minutes from the center of Ketchum, there are multiple crags to get out to learn to climb with family and friends. This area caters to groups who are new to climbing or experienced climbers looking to get some pitches of climbing in while on vacation. As with all of our climbing programs, guides can teach you the skills to belay, climb, and repel. It will be a 15 minute hike into the closest area and a 30 minute hike for the intermediate section. Trail Creek can offer half day or full day climbing experiences. All climbing gear is provided.
