What to Know About Ziplining & Rock Climbing Adventures
With AVA, experience one excitement-filled day and two incredible aerial adventures with a zipline and rock-climbing multi-adventure package. There’s no better way to explore the Rocky Mountains than climbing high cliffside and launching yourself off the mountainside with just air under your feet.
Best of Colorado
Your rock-climbing adventure kicks off at our Buena Vista Outpost, where you will top rope climb the Granite Gorge Cliffs. As you ascend to lofty heights above the Arkansas River Valley, you will be rewarded with stunning vistas of the towering 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks and the meandering Arkansas River below. The scenery on your zipline adventure will also not disappoint, as you again find yourself up high, amidst the Rocky Mountain treetops. Our zipline course is seamlessly integrated into the mountainside rather than built on platforms. This provides a unique way to truly immerse yourself in Colorado’s cliffsides and rock faces.
Options for Everyone
During the rock-climbing segment of your adventure, your group, with the help from your guide, will select from two distinct climbing routes tailored to accommodate beginner or intermediate climbers. Not only is this experience an exhilarating outdoor activity with breathtaking Colorado panoramas, but an opportunity for novice climbers to develop skills in belaying, rappelling, and knot tying. Our zipline course is also ideal for all levels, with kids as young as 7 encouraged to participate. Your entire group will have fun zipping and laughing between the treetops on this six-line adventure course.
