Our Multi-Pitch Climbing Course the perfect way to learn to climb multi-pitch routes. We recommend a 3-Day Program so you can move from knowledge to comprehension to application levels; however, 1 and 2 day programs are available. Climbing in the Zion area gives you the opportunity to get off the beaten path and enjoy the varied rock of this area. With Zion Mountaineering School, you can feel confident that you’re getting the best instruction in the area. ZMS is home to the only active AMGA Certified rock climbing guide in Southern Utah. When you’ve finished our Multi-Pitch course you’ll feel ready to take your climbing to new heights. From sandstone to basalt and limestone, we have areas that are perfect for all ages and all ability levels.

During the Multi-Pitch Climbing Course you should expect to be out approximately 6-7 hours. There will be some light hiking (under 1 hour) so wear comfortable hiking shoes. Your guide will provide you with all the needed gear prior to your trip. Just remember to bring plenty of water and some snacks or lunch.

We want to accommodate  you, so all our trips are private. As a result, start times can be adjusted around your travel plans and you will never be grouped with others unless requested.

Note: As directed by the Superintendent, paid guiding for canyoneering and climbing trips is not permitted within Zion National Park. All trips and courses are done outside of the park in beautiful locations. Details will be given when you call to book your course or trip.
