The American Climbing Institute’s curriculums and techniques are based on the AMGA Rock Guide education and certification program that Alan Jolley helped create and implement. ACI’s programs are broken into 1 & 2 day course modules, that allow you to learn at your own speed and that are convenient for your schedule.

We help you refine your traditional climbing skills through extensive hands-on field work and supervised structured practice with your instructor.

Our belief is that “Practice doesn't make perfect ... perfect practice makes perfect”.

Included in our course offerings are complete written materials, and instructional DVDs from Guide Tricks for Climbers which can be reviewed off the rock at any time to reinforce what you’ve learned.

ACI’s approach to climbing education is professional and thorough. Our goal is to cultivate a professional guides awareness of risk and problem solving skills in every student we teach.

Teaching isn't our profession. It's our passion!
