Rock Climbing Instruction: Tetons
Learn to climb from the pros at JHMG! Our high quality instruction will make your day on the rocks informative, exciting and enjoyable . . . and you can’t beat the location!
Offering courses for the beginner to advanced climber, JHMG can design special programs for corporate groups or private clubs. All ages are welcome—families should read more on our Kids/Teens page.
Classes are taught in one of three scenic locations in either Grand Teton National Park or the Bridger-Teton National Forest. We will pick the area that best suits your needs.
All of our standard classes start at our Jackson office at 165 N. Glenwood, a block-and-a-half from the Jackson town square. Unless other arrangements are made, plan to arrive at our office at 8:30am, prepared for a full day of climbing. You'll want lunch, plenty of water, and appropriate clothing for climbing in the mountains. Please refer to our equipment list, in PDF format, for an outline of what to bring. Typically, classes will be back to the office by 4:30pm.
