Your First 14er Starts Here

Reserve Your Spot

Climbing your first Colorado 14er is a big goal—and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

The Intro 14er Experience is designed for first-timers and early-stage hikers who want to reach the summit safely, confidently, and supported every step of the way. This is not a race. It’s about learning the mountain, moving efficiently, and building skills you’ll carry into every hike after.

You show up ready to learn. We handle the plan.

Who This Is For

If you’ve ever thought, “Am I fit enough?” or “What if I mess up?” — this experience is built for you.

What You’ll Gain

✔️ A clear, proven plan to the summit
✔️ Professional pacing and route guidance
✔️ Real-time coaching on breathing, movement, and energy management
✔️ Confidence navigating altitude and changing conditions
✔️ A supportive group environment that moves together

You’ll leave with more than a summit—you’ll leave knowing you can do this again.

The Mountain Is Waiting

Your first 14er doesn’t have to be stressful or intimidating. It can be empowering, educational, and unforgettable.

Spots are limited to keep groups small and personal.
Reserve your place and take your first step toward the summit.
