Mountaineering

The Pacific Northwest offers a bounty of alpine adventures that are perfect for climbers with all levels of experience. Spring and summer volcano climbs are uniquely rewarding experiences that involve waking up before sunrise, navigating immense glaciers, and climbing steep snow and alpine ice. By late summer, the region transforms into an alpine rock climber’s playground of jagged peaks and stunning views.

April through June we guide summit climbs of the greatest mountain in our backyard, Mt. Hood. We then move north in July and August to guide summit climbs and alpine courses on Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan. By mid-July other stellar alpine rock climbing adventures in North Cascades National Park are options too. If you’d prefer to keep it closer to home in August and September, we also guide Mt. Washington and Three-Fingered Jack.

We’re excited to get into the mountains with you!
