The Great White North.
Come climb with us in the Alaska Range.
The Alaska Range is THE alpine playground of the United States. The terrain is huge and possibilities are endless. This is a great place to put your skills and experience to the test after you’ve spent some time in on the glaciated peaks of the North Cascades. April and May are a great time to visit for ice and mixed climbing objectives once you’re tuned up on waterfall ice technique. As the snow melts and the 24 hour Alaskan sunlight takes hold in June, come explore the 2000’+ rock walls of the Ruth Gorge and Little Switzerland. Alaska is also a great place to learn all the skills of glacier mountaineering by taking one of our courses. Our Alaska programs are custom in nature and typically range from 6-10 days. Our Alaska programs are custom tailored to your needs and costs vary based on location and choice of logistics. Contact us for more information and to inquire about pricing.
