Adirondack Rock. The Adirondack North Country is one of the best and most accessible venues anywhere for traditional rock climbing. Cloudpslitter will be offering rock climbing and backcountry programs in the Adirondacks from May-october, 2010. Some of our guests visit several times over the course of a season and make the most of each day, others come for an intensive week on the rock and leave with technical rock skills they can take anywhere. Popular options include:

• A day of introductory top-rope and single-pitch climbing with a small group of friends, family or co-workers.

•  Climb a thousand feet of rock. Work through your own personal tick-list of multi-pich routes and 'link-ups' of the classic traditional routes.

• North Country 'alpine' style - five miles in and a thousand feet up. Climb Wallface Mountain's fabled 900' east face, deep in the High Peaks Wilderness.

• Train and prepare for summer alpine trips to Rainier, Denali or the Grand Teton with a full day backcountry slide climb to a High Peaks summit.
  

Alpine Climbing in Washington's North Cascades, July-August 2010

For our experienced Adirondack climbers, Cloudsplitter Mountain Guides is pleased to offer a selection of private alpine climbing programs this summer in Washington's spectacular North Cascades. (All programs subject to permit/commercial use agreements).

Alaska Alpine Climbing in Little Switzerland, June 2010.

Little Switzerland Expedition- Denali National Park, Alaska. Alpine rock, AK style. 'If you like traditional rock climbing, this is the alpine climbing trip of a lifetime.' Private and small group trips are available for our repeat clientele. We have availability on a trip that is in the works for late June-early July 2010. Please contact us for more information.

 Although we do climb all months of the year in the Adirondacks, there are optimal seasons:

For rock climbing and summer mountaineering it's May-October. Obviously fall is the best.

The ice climbing and winter mountaineering season usually runs from December- April. Backcountry ski conditions are usually best from February- April.

Alpine and Backcountry programs are always scheduled to take advantage of optimal conditions. That means spring and fall rock camps in the desert and alpine trips in the summer!
