Private Climbs

Private climbs are an excellent way for individual climbers, groups of friends and organizations to enjoy a personalized guided experience. At Northwest Alpine Guides, we specialize in designing custom itineraries for families, friends, student organizations, fundraisers, all-female groups, corporate clients and individuals who aspire to climb a classic Northwest mountaineering objective or another peak or route.

Due to scheduling requirements, we recommend that private clients contact us six months in advance. However, late reservations are often possible subject to guide availability.
