  • Rock Climbing Cancelation Policy

    If you cancel 7 days or more before your trip, a full refund is given. For custom trips, if one or more members of a private group cancel for such a refund, resulting in a smaller group and lower guest to guide ratio, the remaining members agree to pay the higher cost per person of the lower guest to guide ratio.

    Between 7 days and 72 hours of your trip date, you will be allowed to reschedule to a future date that works for everyone.

    If you cancel within 72 hours of your trip date, or if you are prevented from participating in the trip due to circumstances such as injury, illness, family emergency, travel delays, etc., no refund will be provided.

    *Weather Policy- Rock climbing is best enjoyed when the weather is clear. If it is a little wet to start or end the day, that’s no big deal. But if it looks to be a total wash out (determined by vertex within 24 hours of start time) we will work with you to reschedule. If we cannot reschedule, a refund will be given.
