Professionally Guided

The mountains can be both inspirational and dangerous.  Having a trained and experienced guide as part of your team is essential to an unforgettable experience.
We believe that trust is the primary pillar of a climbing or skiing team and want to connect you with the guide you will work with in the field–be that Ben or someone else.  Our philosophy is centered on helping to build these relationships. 
We wouldn’t expect you to be ok showing up to surgery not knowing who your surgeon is and we don’t feel any differently about a your team in the mountains.

Focus

North Cascade Alpine Climbing

The North Cascades is one of the best places on the planet for alpine adventure climbing. It has the perfect mix of all the elements climbers look for.

This is the place where the mountains seem like they were thoughtfully designed for alpine climbing. The season is best late June through the end of August.

Mentorship and Coaching

Lets create a plan to get you the skills you need for the objectives you seek.

 “Mountain Guiding” is more than just putting in a ski track or a boot pack.  It’s more than just getting a rope up on a hard pitch.  When you hire a certified guide your enlisting a trusted experienced team member and mentor.  

For many higher level users its hard to find people to learn from and mountain guides fill that roll.  Get in touch about what your goals are and we can talk about a plan to get you the necessary skills and experience to achieve them with or without a guide.

Learn the skills

Get the knowledge to be safe contributing member of the team.

To become a true master in the mountains would require a lifetime, but to be a safe participant in many climbs doesn’t take mastery.

There is a wide range of prerequisites for any trip.  Some are great for beginners and some may take a several years of learning to be ready for.  

Get in touch and we can discuss your goals and how to build a progression to get you to where you want to be.
