Rock Climbing
 

Not much beats a day at the crags! We'll spend a full day learning and practicing climbing techniques and important skills. We cover equipment selections appropriate for the female physique, harness fitting and basic knots, teminology and communication, belaying, lowering, rappelling, movement skills and most importantly, flattering hairstyles for use under a climbing helmet.

European Style Climbing (Alpine Rock)
 

North Cascades Mountain Guides invites you to experience a "European-style" climbing trip.Mazama is ideally suited to offer a multitude of excellent alpine climbs that are comfortably done as day trips.This allows a climber to enjoy the comforts of our charming town and its fine Inns, hotels and restaurants.There are few places in America where one can experience true alpine climbing during the day, followed by a hot shower, warm meal and a soft bed.This is an excellent option for our clients who are traveling with non-climbing friends or family.We offer discounted lodging packages with several local Inns and can assist you in arranging your visit.

Our "European-style" climbing trips are unique in the United States and are preferred by many returning NCMG clientele who enjoy the combination of granite spires and Methow Valley comforts.

We leave Mazama early, drive to the Washington Pass area and ascend a granite peak with excellent climbing and stunning vistas. Learn mutli-pitch skills such as route finding, anchor and belay management, and natural and artificial protection concepts. Numerous route possibilities abound that vary in difficulty (see Classic Climbs.) An excellent way to experience some of the best alpine rock climbing in North America.
