Plan a Cascadian Climbing Adventure!!!

From May through September I migrate north to the Pacific Northwest. Formerly my year-round home range, I’ve been exploring the North Cascades for nearly ten years, and I’m constantly adding new climbs to my list. I’d love to help you reach your Cascadian climbing goals this season, whether you’re hoping to do your first alpine climb or gain the skills to navigate complex mountain terrain on your own.

I’m starting to fill my schedule for Summer 2024 - reach out to schedule a trip!

  • Passing a crevasse on the Quien Sabe Glacier while climbing Sahale Peak

    Cascades Mountaineering

    The North Cascades are known for rugged and remote climbing, offering a true wilderness experience for those willing to venture up the steep valleys. They also hold some of the last glaciers in the lower 48. I’m available for guided ascents of glaciated peaks including Eldorado Peak, Mt. Shuksan, Mount Baker, Ruth and Icy Peak, and more. I can also help you develop the skills to become a self sufficient mountaineer.

  • On the crux traverse pitch of Ragged Edge on Vesper Peak

    Alpine Rock Climbing

    Not only do the Cascades hold countless glaciers, the rock climbing is pretty good too! High quality, multi-pitch routes are tucked among jagged peaks and alpine lakes. Whether you’re a beginner hoping to do your first alpine climb or an intermediate climber looking for a challenge, I’d be psyched to climb with you in the mountains! Areas include Vesper Peak, Snoqualmie Pass (The Tooth), Washington Pass, Twin Sisters Range, and more.

    Alpine Climbing Skills

    Hoping to become a more self-sufficient Cascades climber and explore the range on your own? From leading trad to snow climbing to crevasse rescue, I can help you develop the skills to reach your goals. We can work on technical skills at the climbing crag, then head to the hills and put it all together. Classrooms include the Index Town Walls, Icicle Canyon, Washington Pass, North Cascades, and beyond!
