Due to the shortage of larger scale adventure sports operations in the Midwest and Eastern United States, many groups have found few professional instruction alternatives. Our programs focus on trust building among organized groups such as schools, camps, boy/girl scouts, outing and health clubs, business concerns and friends. We teach the value of cooperation and the necessity of teamwork.

We also offer special programs for teenagers and the 20+ crowd with special concerns such as diabetes or epilepsy. We have a team of WEMT’s Wilderness First Responders and Outdoor Emergency Care Technicians so If you always wanted the adventure of a lifetime, look to us. Contact us for details.

We have a permit or a reciprocal agreement in place wherever we guide so you can rest assured we are allowed to go with you. If we cannot guide someplace we will recommend another guide service to you who can. We do not guide where we do not have a permit so please do not ask us to break the law,

*Transportation is not included and is billed at actual cost, plus a $200 surcharge per day of travel. Private Guiding Rates* Offered Year Round

O.K. So here is some Legal stuff,

CLIMBING IS DANGEROUS. You are responsible for your safety. Whatever you find on these pages is not a substitute for professional instruction. If you want to live a long and happy life consider taking up finger painting or alligator wrestling instead of climbing.
