North Cascades Mountain Guides - Kaput?

[crazyjizzy]

Their cabin was empty, and the sign in disrepair. Did they go out of buisness?

No.

No way. The guide shop is upstairs and the fly fishing shop is (was) downstairs. If no one is there they're probably out guiding.

In fact, I think they've grown - I heard that the owner of the Northwest Mountain School, based in Leavenworth, bought into NCMG and brought his permits with him.

Thanks for your concern about our business everyone. The Fly shop (from whom we rented office space) recently went our of business. We are still operating out of the upstairs, though we are moving to a new location at the end of the month. We will now be located in the little red building at the skiing trailhead right at the T intersection in Mazama. This new space will be bigger and will provide somewhat of a climbers hangout in the summer with couches, guidebooks and a source for beta. We are also in the process of joining forces with the Northwest Mountain School which will expand our permit areas as well as bring several more fully certified guides to our staff. Big news for us! So, while its true that we dont have someone sittng around in the office all of time, we always welcome folks to call or stop by with questions about routes or conditions or just to shoot the breeze. We try and keep topos of some newish local routes on the bulletin board out front as well as a 5 day weather forecast. Hope to see you in the mountains.

Alpine Cheer,

Larry Goldie
