Reyna27 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 New to the PNW and I’m wanting to learn alpine/ice/mountaineering. All courses by guiding companies are held during May-August probably due to risk. I’m looking for an experienced climber in those categories to teach me the ropes starting in October and work the way through higher during winter. I’ll pay for your time of course. Any help would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, mostly due to the fact that alpine/ice/mountaineering is far more enjoyable to teach (and be taught) during these months. You'll soon see why, but hiking during the Nov-April time frame should help with your appreciation for what the winter months bring to the mountains around here.

genepires Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 they may not run courses in the more unpredictable weather months, one can still hire private one on one guiding through those same companies. gonna be expensive though.

Rad Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Just go ahead and contact a reputable AMGA guide, like Martin Volken in North Bend, and see what he has to say. Pro guiding service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
