Come join me this season in the North Cascades this summer. This is an Alpine environment that will give you an experence that you will not find on the Larger Cascades Volcanos. The North Cascades gives you a wild sence of remotness on Alpine Rock and Alpine Glaciers at moderate eleveations. I will be basing my trips out of two small towns (MAZAMA and MARBLEMOUNT) depending on the objective we seek. Bellow are common programs that I will be running.

There is no other location that offers the same quality of climbing in as breathtaking of a venue than the North Cascades. The verity of terrain offers something for all interests in Rock, Glaciers, or Ice. The climbing yields long moderate rock ridge runs, Glacial traverses, steep rock Climbs, or interesting snow climbs all pack into the remote jagged peaks of the range.
