The Exum "classroom" is on the slabs and cliffs at Hidden Falls, the spectacular area on the west side of Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park.

If you are new to climbing and would like to get a taste, Exum’s Discover Climbing is a 9:00 am-3:00 pm introduction to mountaineering.

Discover Climbing introduces participants to the fun and thrill of outdoor climbing on natural rock. After a safety talk and getting outfitted with helmets, harnesses, and sticky rubber shoes*, your group and the guide will take a boat ride across scenic Jenny Lake.

On the other side, you’ll get to test out your shoes on a variety of boulder problems, and then will head to the climbing area to do one easy multi-pitch climb, or a top rope climb, depending on the ability of the group. This class typically does not cover rappelling.

If you would like to have a climbing adventure that is tailored to your needs and/or previous experience, the Custom Climbing day will be a better fit. If you have kids under the age of 14, check out our Family Climbing Day.

A minimum of 3 participants is required to run this course.

All participants must be 14 years of age or older.
