The ultimate mountaineering adventure!

Full-scale expeditions require a serious commitment of time, effort, and preparation. Altitude, glacier travel, snow camping and arctic weather are some of the joys and difficulties to be found in these big mountains. Our accomplished mountain guides provide the instruction and assistance necessary for a safe and memorable climbing experience. We love teaching clients the intricacies of Alaskan mountaineering, encouraging self-reliance, and helping them learn through first-hand experience. We specialize in designing expeditions for those wishing to further develop their glacier travel and mountaineering skills. Experienced, accomplished, confident mountaineers who would like guidance to a particular summit are welcome and encouraged to contact us for trip ideas as well! |

Unless your'e a goat, mountaineering isn't something you just know how to do from birth....everybody has to start somewhere! We've designed mountaineering clinics that are aimed towards the enthusiastic beginner that has dreamed of the freedom of the hills and is ready to take their first steps on a glacier, make an anchor, climb on lead, and so many other skills that comprise the diverse world of mountain climbing. Your guides will do much more than just guide you on this trip, they'll be your teachers as well, making sure you are a better and more confident climber than when you began. You'll benefit from our collective experiences as we pool all of our tricks of the trade into concentrated clinics. Wrangell - St. Elias National Park offers a premier jumping off point to immerse yourself in a truely remote mountain environment and learn the "nuts and screws" of safe climbing. |

Peak
Ascents - Hike
a traverse AND climb a mountain!
|
|
Some
mountaineers seek a climbing experience that isn't all about ice
and snow and big summits; one that includes meadows, creeks and
rivers, alpine passes, and lengthier approaches along with the satisfaction
of summiting. Do you prefer to explore the unnamed and overlooked
peaks instead of the well-known and travelled highest points? If
you're one who thinks the journey is just as important as the climb
then these trips are for you! Fly to a remote part of the park,
walk through pristine mountain wilderness, and climb atop beautiful
peaks, many unnamed and rarely climbed, if ever. Fly out, raft out,
or hike out.
