PRIVATE GUIDING

Private Guiding is the program through which all of our clients (except for groups) hire a guide. It’s offered year round, covers any discipline we teach (rock, ice, hiking, etc.) and includes instruction as well as guiding. This means pure beginners through experienced pros can register through and apply the Private Guiding rates. Popular requests include:

• Beginning climbers wishing to learn proper fundamentals and safety techniques
• Novice – advanced climbers wishing simply to become better, more efficient climbers or perfect skills such as learning to lead, aid climb, self-rescue etc.
• Experienced climbers seeking to be guided on backcountry routes as well as local classics
• Hikers seeking companionship or guidance up trailess 4000 footers
   

If desired, two or more people can share a private lesson, thus reducing cost. In these situations the client provides the additional people. If more than 3 people wish to hire a guide for climbing/hiking etc. then this falls under our Group rates (see Group Instruction). When registering, please inform us as to your goals and experience. Usually registration by phone works best (we accept calls from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m)GIFT CERTIFICATES as well as PARENT/CHILD rates (17 and under, see below) are available.
 

* Extra children will be charged $50/day.
