Boulder, Colorado · Guided Adventure Courses
The summit is the story; the skills are how you get there. Every Summit & Sage course sits on one line — from the Boulder foothills into alpine terrain — so each day on rock, snow and trail builds on the last.

The Line
A menu of classes gives you nothing to aim at. A line does. Pick the stage that matches where you are now, train the skills the next pitch asks for, and keep moving up.
Four stages, four levels of commitment. Begin on rock in the foothills, or step straight into a winter snowpack course — you can enter the line wherever it fits.
Movement and rope systems, then shelter and navigation, then snowpack assessment and rescue, then long days under a pack. Each stage teaches what the one above it demands.
Finish with a guided trek into alpine terrain and a line you can extend season after season, stage by stage.
The Courses
Every course is a stage on the same line — same guides, rising ground. Take one stage, or climb the whole thing with us.
Camp I · Foothills
Front Range granite and sandstone, learned slowly. You spend the day on real rock with a guide beside you — moving well, building anchors, and understanding what a route is asking for before you commit to it.
Camp II · Backcountry
Far from the trailhead, the plan stops mattering and the basics start. Shelter, fire, water and navigation, practiced in real weather until they are habits rather than theory.
Summit · Alpine
The long line. Multi-day travel with light packs, early starts and a route that goes somewhere — paced for the group and planned around the weather.
Base Camp
You don't need a full rack to begin. Rent what your course requires, carry it up, and bring it back when the climb is done.
Reserve gear when you enroll
Reserve what you need when you enroll — we'll match the kit to the stage you're climbing.
