Our North Cascades Alpine Climbing Course is our premier introduction to the essentials of modern alpinism. This course takes you from a scenic rock climbing crag high above the lush Puget Sound to some of the most famous glaciated peaks in North Cascades National Park. Along the way, our professional guides will give you a comprehensive introduction to mountain skills, including multipitch rock climbing, glacier travel, crevasse rescue, snow camping and many more topics and techniques.

At 7,980 feet, Mount Olympus is the highest peak on the Olympic Peninsula. Set entirely within Olympic National Park, this trip offers a uniquely beautiful wilderness mountaineering experience. An 18-mile approach leads through old-growth rainforest in the Hoh River Valley to the toe of the Blue Glacier, part of the third largest glacial system in the Lower 48. We climb past spectacular ice falls and crevasses to an enjoyable pitch of moderate alpine rock climbing up the summit pyramid. From the top, we revel in our solitude with panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains, the Cascade Range, Seattle and the Pacific Ocean.
