Expert Guides

Safety and risk management are a top priority when we are leading climbing trips in the outdoors. Our lead guides are AMGA-certified Single Pitch Instructors (SPI).  We also have medically trained and certified Wilderness First Responders available.  Our instructors know the best and latest climbing techniques as well as a keen understanding of the local terrain.

Great Time for All

For more than 25 years, we’ve been providing a fun-filled experience for climbers of all ages and experience levels. TCA has also worked with hundreds of corporations, scout troops, youth groups and schools. Our guides balance instruction with fun and encouragement to ensure a great outdoor adventure for everyone.


Where we climb

Austin Greenbelt 

 Rock climbing within Barton Creek’s Greenbelt is a great way to climb close to Austin. Unique for an urban setting, the greenbelt offers  moderate to hard climbing routes, easy access, and outstanding climbing quality. The beautiful, shaded setting provides amazing year-round climbing and miles of trails to hike before or after climbing. 

Milton Reimer's Ranch

Milton Reimers Ranch is the crown jewel of central Texas limestone climbing with its panoramic views of the Texas Hill Country. Nestled in the heart of Travis County’s Dripping Springs, it offers steep cliffs along the Pedernales River.  Reimers Ranch offers one of the highest concentrations of easy to moderate climbing routes in the area. 

Enchanted Rock 

Looking out over grasslands and tall oak forests, the breathtaking pink granite dome lives up to its name in a mystical way. This ancient, pristine granite offers excellent climbing that is second to none with routes ranging from beginner to expert. Enchanted Rock is the original Lone Star State climbing area and a perfect setting for everyone’s climbing adventure.

Medicine Wall

An amazing limestone climbing area in San Antonio. This sport climbing destination is great for all experience levels. With more than 40 feet of climbing, this venue provides great terrain to learn entry level rock climbing skills and especially more advanced lead climbing and anchor building techniques.

​John, Mike, and Sam of Texas Climbing Adventures took our group of cancer survivors out climbing this past weekend at Enchanted Rock. They were some of the best guides I have worked with, and I book climbing services as a part of my job! They were incredibly patient, kind, and were able to walk our participants through challenges not to mention, their fun and humorous demeanor made for a fun time on the rock!

​Spent most of a Sunday with Paul from Texas Climbing Adventures out in Enchanted Rock during a very lovely weekend camping. We had six novice climbers, ranging from 8 to 17 years old and a mature chaperone, learn how to scramble up the tilted slabs of this granite dome. Paul was an excellent guide, belayer, and confidence booster and ever so patient with the group..... Thanks Texas Climbing Adventures! We had a blast.

Spectacular!
​I bring a group of Girl Scouts to Enchanted Rock every year and we have used Texas Climbing Adventures for the past several years to teach our older Scouts rock climbing. The girls always have a fantastic time. The climbing guides are superb, having great skill and patience with the girls. The girls look forward to the trip every year.

​Rappeling practice at Enchanted Rock!
I am 78 and my wife is 74. I had done Canyoning in Mexico several times including many rappels but my wife had not. We spent most of the day with John hiking to the top and doing two rappels, the first about 150ft about 80 degree slope and another about 60ft that was nearly vertical! Although my wife was a little quizey at first, with John's expert guidance, she mastered both slopes!
