How our Trips Work

We do not believe in a one size fits most model; trips are tailored to your needs & desires.

All of our trips are private, allowing our instructors to exclusively focus on your party.

Our instructors strive to provide the best service to you.

Trips consist of:

Trip Prep

Your instructor reviews information provided in your reservation to begin structuring the day around your goals and experience. Providing us with as much detail as possible in the reservation helps us greatly with this step!

Check-In

To start your day, your instructor will meet with you to further discuss details, goals and expectations. In addition, we will complete a gear check if you are bringing your own equipment or a gear fit if you are using equipment provided by Southeast.

Head to the Crag

Begin with a basic belay instruction at the cliff and start climbing!

Crush it!

Continue to climb and learn as the instructor helps to hone your skills and provide direction for the day.

Wrap Up

The instructor will leave you with a brief outline of things for you to continue to focus on or plans for what will be covered on your next trip.

Foster Climbing Knowledge with Authentic Professional Instructors

Since all trips are private, we tailor each one to your specific needs and desires. But here are a few of the most common topics we cover:


- Basic and advanced belay skills

- How to lead climb

- How to clean climbing anchors

- Climbing and resting technique

- Trad climbing, including gear and technique

- How to fall and catch a fall

- And so much more!
