BOULDER INSTITUTE OF OUTDOOR CLIMBING SKILLS

If you are interested in learning and improving techniques and becoming more efficient in the mountains without the company of a guide then our programs are for you. All of our programs emphasize developing skills, beginning in structured classes and then polishing those skills on real climbs. Our clinics are small so that you receive the best attention from our outdoor instructors and guides.

We don't guide you up routes: we prepare you to be independent and self-reliant. On your own so that the experience you discover is more personal and memorable. We want you to be safe but we also want you to experience rock climbing and the mountains in all their glory and in their natural untamed state. We help you develop not only the athleticism necessary for climbing but also the mental fortitude that is made sharp with time spent in the vertical realm.

Our backyard and your training arena is Boulder, Colorado, home to some of the best rock and alpine climbing in the United States. From amazing Eldorado Sandstone to Rocky Mountain granite we have it all.
