Climbing & Mountaineering


Salida isn't as well known for climbing as it is for rafting, kayaking, & mountain biking. But Penitente
Canyon, Shelf Road, and the Sangre De Christo's with classic
alpine routes like the Ellingwood Arete on the Crestone Needle are all short drives away.
There are also several local crags that offer great opportunity for the beginner and seasoned climber alike. Stop in the shop for more local info or to find out about our climbing lessons for adults and children.
