Mountaineering, or alpine climbing, is a mix of rock climbing, snow climbing, glacier travel, and ice climbing. A wide range of movement styles and technical systems are used throughout any mountaineering trip. Our mountaineering courses can teach you the technical skills, movement, and know how to climb the bigger peaks you’ve only dreamt of.
With topics such as self rescue, introduction to mountaineering, and advanced mountaineering, we have a climbing course for everyone, and every season. Our guides and instructors strive to leave you with a solid foundation as they teach industry best practices and critical thinking around many common climbing topics important to mountaineering. We want you to walk away with the knowledge and skills to explore the mountains like we get to.
Mountaineering courses and classes are run near Denver, Boulder, and Golden and taught by professional guides with years of experience. The progression of our classes makes it easy to follow for novice and experienced climbers alike.
