This trip aims to offer a once in a lifetime opportunity to our climbers. A 3 week tour of the best climbing in the country while traveling with their friends and teammates. We will be traveling in MetroRocks 15 passenger van and pulling all of our camping and climbing supplies in a small trailer. We will split our time between Colorado and Wyoming the first week and a half, and Idaho and Utah for the second week and a half. We will be camping for the majority, if not all of the time. 


The trip will be offered in two sessions; the first session ( July 1st-13th)  will include driving from Metrorock in everett to Colorado and Wyoming for bouldering and sport climbing and end with a flight back to Boston from the Jackson Hole Airport in Wyoming.

Climbers are welcomed and encouraged to stay through both sessions.

Food + Camp Stuff:


Regarding food we usually do half of the shopping before the trip to pick up staples of every trip Oatmeal, Pasta, Sandwich Materials, Etc. Then with the kids after we set up camp we talk to them to see what they like to eat that we can prepare while camping. We will try our very best to work with all climbers to ensure any dietary restrictions are managed. All participants of the trip will help with the necessary camp chores on a rotating schedule. We try our best to schedule every climbing day so that the kids will all have ample down time whilst still being able to complete all the necessary tasks to have a clean and productive camp.

Once we have kids registered we will reach out to those only doing one session so we can coordinate the flights in and out
