I scheduled a 6 hour private guiding session with Denver Climbing Company. Unfortunately, I had an injury forcing a reschedule followed by some poor weather which pushed the trip again. Each time my guide Mark was quick on communication and incredibly easy to work with.
We spent the 6 hours drilling through technique and fundamentals for outdoor sport and multipitch climbing. It was genuinely amazing and outstripped all my expectations. I had the chance to bolster my tool set from an excellent and experienced teacher. I couldn’t have asked for me.
I cannot recommend Denver Climbing Company enough to those of us who have climbed for a while but want to be sure we have our outdoor fundamentals down well.

I booked a rappel with Dan and he did not disappoint. This was a special event for me as it was my 60th birthday and I needed to beat my previous rappel of 150feet in the military. Dan planned a day of a starter rappel of 85 followed by a 208feet rappel. I was so happy. He allowed me to climb the mountain at my pace and did not rush but understood my goals and allowed me to meet those. My partner had never rappelled before and he was wanting to go again. We reserved a private party and while Dan & my partner were willing to go another round, I was spent so we called it a day.
I would highly recommend Denver Climbing Company for not only your special occasion but for any challenge you may set for yourself.

this was just one of those experiences of a lifetime. So if you’re considering it – try it! And you simply can’t have a better guide than Dan. In every single way, he made the experience superb for us.
For those seeking more detail, I’ll add the following:
Advance communication was consistently quick, clear, and thorough.
Our meeting spot was easy to find, and though these locations can vary, ours in Golden was an easy 25-minute drive from downtown Denver.
The pre-climb prep was also clear, thorough, and definitely safety-focused. We were beginners, and Dan was most patient in working through the details with us.
As for the climb itself, the setting was glorious, and there were options available for different skill levels. And there was encouraging support, but never pressure.
Also, because we did choose the private climb option, we were able to tie in a short session on rappelling that added to the day.
Lastly, I’m 60 and far beyond my “in shape” days, but it was doable, and for those (like my climbing partner) who are better conditioned it’ll be even easier, but no less amazing.
Enjoy your time! And Dan, thanks for the superb experience.

We went with a group of 5 and we had a blast. Our instructor Dan was very knowledgeable and patient with us and taught us how to climb very well. At the same time he explained all the rules and the dos and donts very clearly and also explained that due to covid we should have masks on if there were other hikers on the trail. Dan was a very cool and friendly guy. The entire experience was amazing and extremely safe and we all had a lot of fun climbing. If have a guests coming to Colorado I will definitely come to Denver climbing company.

Booked a lead climbing course with Dan and had an amazing experience! He was very thorough, easy to understand and answered every question we had. Came into the course with some understanding of lead climbing and now feel much more confident in anchor building and safety. Highly recommend!

Dan’s a great guide! This is my second time to climb with him and he does not disappoint. He took us to a great spot where we had multiple routes to choose from and great views.

Our 17 year old wanted to work on transferring his skills safely from the climbing gym to the outdoors. He is a pretty high-level climber 5.12 indoors. He had an amazing experience, learned so much, and felt extremely safe, even wore facemasks all day. He can’t wait to go again, and we highly recommend the Denver Climbing Company for all levels.

My husband and I were in Colorado for a long weekend trip and decided to go climbing since we only ever climb inside. This course was a great transition course and Dan was an awesome instructor! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again for the photos and memories! I would definitely recommend Denver Climbing Co and if we’re ever in Colorado we are definitely taking another class!

So I have been climbing my whole life and when I got the opportunity to go to CO I had to hit the rock. Dan with DCC is not only extremely personable, he is extremely knowledgeable and safe. His experience showed and I have to say I will most definitely be back. This review is long overdue but still needs to be posted. Hate I waited so long
