Guided Colorado14er and 13er Climbs

With the highest concentration of peaks over 14,000' it's no wonder this is such a popular way to experience Colorado's alpine areas. While many people climb some of these peaks without a guide, and without ropes, for those looking at their first 14er experience utilizing a mountain guide is a great way to learn safer habits and pick up a lot of backcountry knowledge along the way. For those with more climbing experience we have the ability to guide some of the most classic 14er routes in Colorado like The Ellingwood Arete on Crestone Needle, South Face of the Petit Grepon, or The Diamond on Long's Peak. Technical ascents of these high alpine routes often occur on rock, snow, and ice and make a great training ground for those heading for places like Rainier or Denali or just for the challenge they present on their own. We also offer a variety of 14er and 13er climbs of different levels of difficulty and different locations. Please check out some of what we offer below. For extended trips or more difficult climbs involving more equipment check out our porter services to make your hike in a little lighter.
