ALPINE CLIMBING COURSES
Also called "Mountaineering", alpine climbing will take you to the highest peaks in the Cascades and beyond. The Mountaineers define alpine climbing as climbs covering 5th class terrain and glaciated areas. These require the use of a rope and protection placement to travel safely. If you are interested in reaching the summit of peaks in the Cascades but don't feel you are ready for rope work, check out our Alpine Scrambling Course.
