Introduction to Ice Climbing
Individuals new to the sport or with limited experience will enjoy learning from our professional guides who take time to cater to you. Our focus is to get you climbing while teaching fundamental climbing skills and movement techniques needed for a safe and fun day on the ice.
North Cascades, 2022. Now Taking Reservations!
The North Cascades are a national treasure. They are home to the largest glaciers in the lower 48, and they deserve our attention especially during our fight to save our climate. There is no better way to get to know this special place then to climb to the summits that make this land so special.
Climb North American Classic Routes: Mt. Baker’s Coleman-Deming or North Ridge; Enjoy the Impeccable Granite, or explore a remote back-country overnight and summit. Climb during the week and have the mountains to yourself.
Private customization of your trip is what we do best. If you prefer a scheduled course, check out our courses page or contact for more info.
Introduction to Alpine Climbing
Learn different methods and skills for moving up and down in technical winter terrain. This is a great precursor to a guided winter ascent of the gullies in Huntington’s Ravine pr bigger objectives like Mt. Baker or Mt. Rainier. We will cover crampon technique, mountaineering axe use, moving on steep terrain, moving on a rope team, lead belaying and a variety of snow and ice anchors.
Thanks so much for an awesome time. I was a bit hesitant to book it at first and drop the money for guided/mentor experience but it was truly worth it and I am so glad I did. All of my goals we met and more. I feel so good to have had the experience you provided and so much more confident in my future backcountry skiing. Thanks again.
