Thank you Heidi and Sheldon! I had such a blast, and I even managed to climb WI5 for the first time! It was my first time ice climbing with female guides, which was such a great experience! Truly appreciate all of you boss ladies for the work you do and for making it so fun.

A place where community and friendship are as abundant as 5 star instruction and life-changing mountain adventures; my go-to for all things alpine. Decades of outdoor education and mountaineering trips led by the the world’s best mountain guides!

“What I enjoyed most about the clinic was the entire group was very welcoming, learning technical skills and climbing with guides that were very supportive and had a great attitude.”

I am in awe of your technical expertise and knowledge and your ability to impart those skills during your clinics. I have continually been challenged by each and every one of you and have pushed myself to limits I never knew I was capable of. I have learned so much from you all, not just about climbing, but about myself, and all the while having fun doing it.

“Super fun day – I was extremely proud of the fact that I managed to practice falls and actually breathe OUT (instead of the usual panicked gasp in). So much personal progress on that front. And Brittany helped me get over my fear of riding high on the belay – I truly enjoyed giving her a soft catch”
