My boyfriend and I used a Groupon and climbed in the Garden of the Gods. Luke R. was our guide and was the perfect balance of laid back, encouraging and safety minded. He gave enough guidance to get us(mostly the boyfriend) to the top, while still making us think and work our way up the rock. Having only climbed indoors, this was a perfect introduction to outdoor top rope climbing. I felt very safe, especially after dislocating my shoulder(twice! while roped in!!) and was never pushed beyond my limits. My boyfriend, who is experienced in outdoor climbing, enjoyed being exposed to something more slabby and, despite having experience, still learned and gained even more confidence in his ability to climb. I would certainly recommend this company to both beginner and experienced climbers — it was a lot of fun despite my own challenges, and the varying ability of each of us as climbers.

Girlfriend and i took the advanced class with John. Class was wonderful! Instruction was very tailored to our needs. Spent most of morning setting anchors in red rock canyon open space. Beautiful place for instruction. Recommend bring plenty of water. Climbed some in afternoon. Slab rock WAY different from arkansas climbing. Highly recommend!

Had a great first climbing experience today with John at Cheyenne Cañon. We were supposed to go to Garden of the Gods, but the amount of rain during the past few days kept us from doing that. John offered to reschedule, but when we said we were leaving town tomorrow, he took us to Cheyenne Cañon instead. John was super nice – very patient and helpful. He was encouraging but didn’t pressure us to do anything we were uncomfortable with. We felt very safe and confident in John’s abilities and experience. I’d really recommend a climbing trip with John to any new climber who wants to try it out. We had a great time and definitely felt we got a great value off this Living Social deal.

We did two half days on our honeymoon in Garden of the Gods and Cheyenne Canyon with John. John was great company but more importantly very safety oriented and provided us with an experience appropriate to our differing skill levels. Throughout the climb John took photos of us, which is a bonus. We enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely climb with first ascent again or recommend them to a friend.

Our climbing experience with John at the Garden of the Gods was absolutely amazing. Not only was it a thrill to learn the basics of rock climbing but the safety and assurance provided by John, the guide/owner, kept what could have been a very stressful situation actually quite relaxed. Everyone in our group had an absolute blast and the excitement carried over long after the trip was done. I highly recommend First Ascent to anyone looking to try something new or scratch something off their Colorado bucket list!

Fantastic! We used a groupon and went out to Red Rock Open Space with 4 people who had never climbed before, and it was really fun. We had the owner as a guide so that was neat and we felt totally safe and in very capable hands. I will go climbing again and I will go with these guys. Great company!

My girlfriend and I climbed with First Ascent at Garden of the Gods about a week ago. We were out there on vacation and saw a deal with them on Living Social, and decided to give it a shot. It was the first time I had ever been to Colorado and the first time I had ever been climbing outside of a gym. I was apprehensive going into it, but to be quite honest the entire experience was incredible, from the scenery to the fact that we somehow lucked out and had virtually the entire park to ourselves. John, the company owner, was very helpful and made us feel safe and secure the whole way through. I could not have asked for a better end to the vacation. Next time I am back in Colorado – whenever that may be – I will be going back to First Ascent and Garden of the Gods.
