Description

South through central Utah, there is a mountain range that exhales the greatness of its wild nature. It is the Wasatch range, that stretches 260 km from the Utah-Idaho border displaying an incredibly colorful flora.

That will be the location of this 4-day mountaineering course. You will learn technical rock and snow skills and be able to practice actual climbing.

On the first day, we will learn everything about alpine rock climbing, we will review belaying, rappelling and efficient movement on rock. We will get to climb a moderate peak such as Reservoir Ridge and a multi-pitch one like Steort’s Arete.

On the second day, we will deepen in our snow travel skills, our use of crampon and axe, and dare to mix climb Toledo Peak. On the third and fourth day, we will extend our knowledge of crevasse rescue and glacier travel, and will be more than ready to go through a big mountaineering route towards Mt. Olympus (2751 m).

To sign up, it is crucial to have some mountain experience and to be fit, although you don’t need proficiency in either rock or snow climbing.

If you want to spend 4 days in the Wasatch range paradise and be better at climbing, do not hesitate and book this program now.

There is also a  multi-pitch ice climbing course in Utah that you can take a look at.

Ended up booking a one-night-and-one-day hike summiting Mt Shasta because Mt Rainier was booked out.

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.

I was very glad to have the Back country ski tour in Montata by following reasons. 1. I had quick replies from my coordinator and guide whenever I asked something; 2. My guide was cool. 3. The tour was well-planned and appropriate duration. 4. Snow was in a good condition. Thank you!!

Poor service from Explore-share! The vendor who provided the actual tour shared with Explore-share that heavy rains prevented them from doing a substantial section of the tour. I was not notified. The vendor also offered a substantial discount for what we were able to do and this was not shared with me either!

Neil was our guide and he was amazing! We did Camelback mountain climbing and he knew all about it and the other nearby mountains. Lots of great info and fun. I took my two boys, 9 and 11 years old plus climbed myself (44 years old). So perfect for all ages and skill levels. Definitely worth doing!!!

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
