The Ruth Gorge is one of the world’s great alpine rock destinations. Enormous granite walls rise straight from the glacier, creating a climbing environment with scale, remoteness, and beauty that few places on earth can match.

A Ruth Gorge trip is a serious expedition for strong and experienced climbers. Weather, glacier travel, camp logistics, objective selection, and technical climbing all shape the experience, and conditions often determine which routes make sense during the window.

Colorado Climbing Company guides help manage the many moving parts of a Ruth Gorge expedition so you can focus on climbing in one of the most spectacular places in the Alaska Range. For the right climber, it is a lifetime objective.
