The word “alpine” calls forth many images – high glaciated terrain, diverse and technical challenge, wild weather, and exposure. A classic alpine climb may have a bit of everything: rock, snow and ice. These climbs offer the type of climbing that, after a succession of ascents, help you develop a full repertoire of skills and the strength to adapt to ever-changing environments. Whether you join us high in the North Cascades on Mount Baker, the best imaginable intro to glacier climbing; travel to Alaska’s spectacular Ruth Gorge to climb the coveted Moose’s Tooth; or find yourself sipping cappuccino at the Hornli Hut before an ascent of the Matterhorn; the more you climb, the more you are called up into the “alpine.”

Our Alpine Climbing Program provides a full range of climbs from beginner to advanced in the best terrain available. In the United States, the Cascade Range of Washington State is considered the preeminent training ground for glacier mountaineering and alpine climbing. And then there’s Alaska. Nothing strikes the “alpine cord” stronger than Alaska! In the European Alps, where mountain guiding got its start, there are lifetimes of alpine climbs at every level, all with incredible access, the comfort of huts, and rich mountain culture. Please check out the offerings below - we are excited to climb with you at every stage of your “alpine” experience. We can also arrange climbs on a custom basis. Learn more about custom trips.

“Make it happen!”
