Take it outside
Ready to transfer your hard earned Momentum climbing skills to the real
rock? Or are you just visiting and anxious to check out the crags that lead
Rock and Ice Magazine to dub Salt Lake “America’s Climbing City”? Granite,
Quartzite, Limestone- we have it all right here close to Momentum. How about
a desert tower? Climbers come from all over the world to do climbs at famous
Indian Creek and the sandstone towers around Moab, less than a half-day’s

For your outdoor adventures, Momentum has contracted with the rock guides at
Red River Adventures, who have some of Utah’s most experienced and

climbers who have climbed rock, alpine, boulders, at altitude and ice on
5 continents. Each is AMGA certified, familiar with the latest techniques,
safety standards and familiar with climbing on all of Utah’s varied rock
types. From face to cracks, sport to traditional, top roping set-up to long
multi-pitch technique and efficiency- Red River’s guides can show you how.Basic Outdoor Climbing
