Alpine rock climbing on Early Morning Spire and Dorado Needle in the North Cascades National Park (3-5 days)

Head out into the wilds of North Cascades National Park for a truly incredible alpine rock climbing experience.

Depending on how much time you have, we can either climb Early Morning Spire or Dorado Needle over the course of three days, or tackle both over the course of five days. It’s up to you.

Either way, we will enjoy some of the best alpine climbing that the Cascade Range has to offer. After leaving Seattle and making our way to our camp at Inspiration Glacier on day one, the fun begins.

Widely regarded as two of the best alpine climbing routes in the Cascade Pass region, Dorado Needle and Early Morning Spire combine long and glaciated approaches with up to 12 pitches of spectacular, intermediate-level climbing.

Among the numerous highlights of the trip is the arete of Eldorado, which offers one of the longest and most aesthetic lines in the Cascade Range, some up to 3,000 feet long.

From the top as well as along the way, the views will always be simply stunning, with immaculate vistas over the surrounding mountains and glaciers.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredible 3 to 5-day alpine rock climbing experience in scenic North Cascades National Park.
