KMAC Guides: Professional Rock Climbing & Mountain Adventures in Estes Park and beyond.
It’s not necessarily what we do at KMAC Guides that is unusual, it is our approach to our profession that sets us apart. Our motto is “Personal Growth Through Adventure”. We have been helping people make memories in the mountains for decades. Time spent together rock climbing and on adventures is never wasted. We love Rock Climbing, and even more than that we love to take people rock climbing.
Since 1987 KMAC Guides (Formerly Kent Mountain Adventure Center) has been offering guided rock climbing, mountain instruction and outdoor education for individuals, groups and schools. KMAC Guides is an American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) accredited business. AMGA program accreditation demonstrates that KMAC Guides complies and operates within rigorous industry standards for climbing schools and guide services. We also offer AMGA Single Pitch Instructor courses for climbers looking to advance their own guiding careers.
