Rock climbing programs

Join us for guiding or instruction in Utah's Wasatch range, a world class climbing area with outstanding vertical landscapes of granite, quartzite, limestone and alpine peaks. Spend a day climbing in Little Cottonwood canyon or Big Cottonwood canyon, or a whole weekend in Lone Peak cirque. Our guides know the routes intimately and can make your climb as memorable as the scenery.

Safety is our paramount concern at Exum Utah Mountain Adventures and we limit the size of our groups to ensure individual attention under the direction of our highly experienced guides. Groups are assembled and scheduled by our office staff. If you are alone and wish to join a group we may be able to arrange it.
