Risk management is SAI’s number one priority. Our guides manage significant hazards inherent in the mountains such as avalanches, ice fall, rock fall, inclement weather, and high winds, but they cannot eliminate them. SAI guides draw from their wealth of experience and training to make sound decisions that maximize your experience without compromising the necessary margin of safety. Please clearly understand that mountaineering and all other mountain adventures are inherently hazardous sports. You are choosing to engage in an activity in which participants have been injured and killed. While those accidents are indeed infrequent, they may occur at any time and be out of our control. We ask that participants acknowledge the risk and hazards of these sports, and make their own choices about whether or not to engage in these activities.
Q:What am I responsible to bring?
A: Each one of course pages has information on what to bring under the tab “Price Includes”. We will also send you additional info on how to prepare for your guided day once via email once we have received your payment.
Q:How fit should I be for my course?
A: Our courses vary from absolute beginner to more advanced techniques on the sharp end. While a base level of fitness (moderate hiking) is generally necessary to get to the climb, all courses can be tweaked to match your level of fitness.
Q: What if the weather is bad and we need to cancel/reschedule?
A: Read our cancellation policy on our policies page.
Q: Do I need to have prior climbing experience?
A: Each course/objective has different experience requirements. This information can be found under the Prerequisites tab at the bottom of our course pages. For example, you do not need any prior experience to enroll in our Intro to Mountaineering Course but would need some prior climbing experience to participate in our Learn to Lead Trad Course.
Q: Is there an age minimum? Can I bring my kids?
A: No, there is not an age minimum and yes you can bring your kids! However, there are some courses where children would not be suitable. You can find more information under the “course details” tab on our course pages. Also, check out our custom guiding options where we can create custom itinerary for you and your family.
Q: Will I need transportation to get to the climb?
A: Yes, we do not provide transportation. We encourage carpooling with other course participants whenever possible though to save the environment and parking space! Meeting times and locations will be sent out via email once you have booked a course with us.
Q: Do you offer lodging options?
A: No. We offer recommended lodging options and sometimes discounted rates depending on the course or trip. Feel free to call us if you have any questions about lodging!

Movement Monday | Rope Lengths + Eldorado Canyon Beta
Watch 🎥 1&2 (swipe right)
Knowing the length of your rope and the length of a particular climb is extremely important, especially in a single pitch environment. One of the most common accidents in rock climbing is being dropped when lowered due to the rope not being long enough to reach the ground and not having a stopper knot in the end of the rope.
An 80m rope can be useful in setting up top ropes in some areas. We are utilizing one here in Eldorado Canyon to achieve some mega single pitch climbs on the west ridge. Most folks use a belay ledge 25 feet up but there is great climbing below.
⚠️ Single pitch climbs can be a part of a multi-pitch route. If so, be considerate of parties above and behind you. Another party descending or wanting to climbing upper pitches, should be given priority and/or a plan should be discussed.
🤓 Get to know your feet and meters conversions!
60m = 196ft (98ft pitch length)
70m = 229ft (114.5ft pitch length)
80m = 262ft (131ft pitch length)
