Description

Do you have dreams of climbing in some of the world’s most famous mountain ranges? Do you want to enjoy spectacular views from the summits of mountains like Denali (6,190m) or Alpamayo (5,947m)? Then you need to learn the skills necessary to do so. And this full day introductory mountaineering course in the beautiful Adirondack mountains in upstate New York is a great place to start.

The Adirondack mountains are well known for their rugged terrain and unpredictable conditions. They are also full of fantastic views that will only heighten your experience.

Even though this course only lasts one day, you will still have a chance to learn a great deal. A few examples of what we will be covering include the following.

  • Self belay and self arrest

  • Crampon and ice axe techniques

  • Ice and snow anchors

  • Rope team movement

  • Crevasse rescue

We will also instruct you on route finding, and other important techniques as well.

Since this is an introductory course, previous mountaineering experience is not required. However, you should be in good enough physical condition to handle the rigors of the day.

If you want to learn about mountaineering, the best place to learn is in the mountains themselves. I believe the Adirondack mountains are a great range for learning, while also giving you a great experience full of amazing views.

If you would like to be a part of this course, just send us a request. We would be happy to teach you everything we know.

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!
