Custom Instruction

Whether you’re looking to learn how to build top rope anchors outside, or you’re getting ready to take an AMGA course or exam, you will not be disappointed.

With over a decade of experience in outdoor instruction, a degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and firsthand testimonials from students, peers, and mentors, we will create a custom classroom that is unmatched. Be prepared to walk away with a better understanding of what you know, and what you need more practice with. Written pre-course materials provided, as well as a detailed written evaluation after the lesson.

It all starts with a conversation on the phone, so give us a call (or text)!

8 Hours (plus pre-course materials)

$375: 1 person
$425: 2 people

I recently signed up for the Intro to Trad Climbing class with Open Air Guides and could not be more satisfied. Trevor and Lucy were both terrific instructors who presented material in a way that was easy to follow along as well as providing hands on instruction throughout the day. They made the class both challenging and fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to advance their outdoor climbing game!

Trevor was my first introduction to outdoor climbing, and I brought a few friends who hadn’t climbed before. After I had more experience, my wife and I booked Trevor for an outdoor top rope instructional day. We have used other guides in different locations throughout the US, but nobody has compared Trevor in the care and knowledge he brought to the experience. We will absolutely come back to Trevor when we are ready to learn Trad and multi-pitch climbing. He and his team will be my first and only recommendation to friends looking for a guided or instructional experience outdoors.
