Basecamp Ouray Mountain Guides

We are the five-time voted #1 guide service in Ouray, leading climbers through the Uncompahgre Gorge and along the Million Dollar Highway. Our team of AMGA-trained local guides tailors every ascent to your skill level, tackling multi-pitch routes at Rotary Park or conquering the frozen canyon of Ouray Ice Park. We specialize in Via Ferrata, where fixed cables and iron rungs make vertical rock faces accessible to everyone, as well as ice climbing on frozen waterfalls and mixed lines. Beyond guided tours, we provide high-quality equipment rentals for both ice climbing and Via Ferrata adventures. Our approach connects people with the outdoors through hands-on climbing experiences and adventure leadership programs, ensuring that every visit feels authentic to how we live and train in Ouray. From beginner-friendly flows to challenging backcountry excursions, we fit you with the right gear and guide you through safety procedures in a relaxed environment. We look forward to helping you create memories that last a lifetime on Ouray's legendary cliffs.
