Denali National Park Preserve is in a category of its own, a vast Alaskan wilderness where glaciers stretch for miles, granite walls rise thousands of feet from the ice, and the scale of everything around you resets your understanding of what mountains can be. The Alaska Range doesn't ease you in. The weather is serious, the approaches are committing, and the objectives demand a level of preparation and alpine judgment that separates expedition climbing here from anything in else in North America.

The preserve's climbing areas each have their own distinct character. Ruth Gorge cuts a dramatic corridor through the range with walls that have attracted the world's best alpinists for generations. Little Switzerland offers a more accessible but no less spectacular introduction to Alaska Range climbing, with granite spires and routes that reward technical skill in a stunning glacial setting. Further into the range, peaks like Mt. Hunter and Huntington represent some of the most coveted and committing alpine objectives on the continent.

Colorado Climbing Company guides bring their Alaska Range experience to every trip managing the logistics, weather windows, and technical demands of expedition climbing so you can focus on the experience. Whether it's your first time on a glaciated Alaskan peak or you're ready to target a specific technical objective, the Alaska Range will change how you think about climbing.
