Amazing experience with Cole! We were going to climb Garden of the Gods, but the weather the day before made it not the best option, so instead we went to North Cheyenne.
Cole made us feel very comfortable and safe in out first outdoor climbing trip, and I highly recommend booking with them if you are curious about outdoor climbing!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 24058423279Jan 25, 2021Updated review
We had the most amazing time ice climbing yesterday! this was our 2nd time using this company and we will definitely be utilizing it again in the future.
It was easy to set up a group reservation. With covid there were some restrictions but we worked it out beforehand and it was very easy.
They communicated well beforehand with what we would need to bring with us, time we needed to meet and where including a google map link to the location.
Our guides were great! they helped all of us get fitted with what we needed and also talked us through what we needed to do and had some standing by us the whole time and helping as needed. Could not say enough positive things about them.
The ice wall in lake george area was great. There was 4 different levels of difficulty on the wall. And my group got to try several of the lines.
We had the MOST incredible experience and we will definitely be back in teh future with the girl scouts again, probably next year. I am also looking into schedule a event for an outdoors womens group as well.
Highly recommend! Front range climbing is super awesome!Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0Oct 11, 2020Previous reviewHighly recommend!!!! We had the ABSOLUTE best time today!!!!
Took a group of girl scouts up. Some scared and some excited. Everyone left feeling amazing and happy.
The team was super professional, attentive and also helped build confidence in ourselves and skills.
Our group chose to climb in boulder canyon but they do have 3 other options.
I can say I am petrified of heights and decided to participate to try to help overcome my fear. I had an amazing time and hope to someday learn how to climb on my own. All the guides were understanding and supportive. And offered guidance as needed. Definitely found a new hobby I love!
The crew we took was 8th grade up to adults. - 194267654Sep 13, 2022
This is a wonderful climbing company. Jim was our guide and he was very experienced and knowledgeable about the area and climbing. We were able to complete three separate climbs during our session. He was a great instructor/guide and the whole experience was fantastic!

Incredible experience! Chris was my Guide/Instructor for the afternoon session. His instruction of the technique and equipment built my confidence and capability to make each of the multiple climbs that day. Front Range Climbing is the go to group for anyone wanting to see Colorado in a whole new way.
Recommend highly to anyone and everyone, regardless of age and experienceHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Scott R.Highlands Ranch, CO08Feb 22, 2022
We took a large group (~15 people) ice climbing with FRCC in Colorado Springs yesterday. Our group included everyone from beginner climbers to experienced rock climbers, although none of us had ice climbing experience. FRCC (Dan, Joey, and Justin) gave us a truly fantastic experience. What impressed me the most is how well they helped and supported the true beginners and experienced climbers alike. For example, they gave individualized attention both to those who needed extra help and also to those who wanted to push their skills.
One fun moment came when a dog belonging to one of us climbed halfway up the ice cliff. One of the guides climbed to the dog, clipped the dog into his harness, and carefully brought the dog down!
The guides are highly knowledgeable and eager to teach. It was fun to see their eyes light up when asked about climbing gear and techniques. Speaking of gear, their rental gear was clean and well-maintained, and they didn't cheap out either--the ice tools were high-end carbon fiber tools.
We were so thrilled with the experience that we plan to go again next month, weather permitting!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Peter M.Georgetown, TX020May 31, 2023
Justin did a phenomenal job guiding my family on their first rock climb in Garden of the Gods. He was super safe, patient, and professional during our four hour adventure. Truly appreciate him for taking such good care of my son during his anxious first ascent. He's great with kids. Would recommend this outfit 100%.

My family used Front Range services to experience rock climbing in the Garden of the Gods. Joshua and Bill were fantastic guides and made our experience memorable. They pushed and encouraged our kids. I can't say enough about the guides and the experience. Professional and fun!!!!

We had a great time climbing with Justin in North Chayenne Canyon State Park! Justin understood our level of skill and experience when choosing routes for us to climb and took amazing pictures and videos along the way! We loved our day of climbing and he helped make this a memorable trip.

Coming to Colorado, this was our first experience climbing outside and our tour guide, Jim, made it an incredible first climb. After talking with us more, he quickly gauged our ability and chose routes that were challenging, yet comfortable. We chose a six-hour climb with Front Range Climbing Company and Jim made sure we got to experience the most the Garden had to offer with our limited time.
We drove into the Garden of the Gods parking lot very unsure of ourselves and what we would be able to accomplish. Jim picked up on this hesitation and worked with us to feel more confident in climbing outside; his motivation and guidance helped us transition from gym climbing to outdoor climbing.
We had an amazing time climbing with Jim and will always remember our first outdoor climbing adventures. - Cory F.Bahama, NC0289Jun 25, 2019
Wow! We scheduled a full day climb in Red Rocks as a lesson for our two girls and myself to be able to learn how to climb outdoors. We arrived early in the morning and met with Nathan who was, flat out, totally amazing! He had all the gear we needed, had great recommendations, and kicked us off with a fantastic climb that pushed us the right amount. Throughout the day and our other climbs he worked closely with us to show us great tips, offered solid advice and encouragement, and made the day amazing!
Highly, highly recommend them if you're in the area!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ben S.Englewood, CO181204Jun 2, 2021
Used this company for a rock climbing expedition in Garden of the Gods Colorado Springs area. Our guide, "Spider-Man" aka Jamison was great. Very cool and helpful in explaining how everything works. Very safe practices as well. I would recommend this company for anyone who wants to do some rock climbing with ropes and isn't very experienced at it yet.
