This is for people who want to take their climbing to the next level in the cascades. Join us if you wish to experience a classic route with all types of climbing.

To be successful at this climb you need to be able to carry a 40-50 lbs in your backpack while maintaining 1000 vertical feet an hour of elevation gain.  In addition you must be comfortable climbing tied to a rope on 4th class terrain with a full overnight backpack. You need to have the mental fortitude and fitness for a 12 hour summit day.

Basic balance and movement are required. During day 1 of our program we will go over all the technical skills you need to safely climb the route.

Rock climbing movement technique, Basic steep snow and ice technique, placing and removing rock gear, snow anchor removal, rope team travel, belaying, lead belaying, knot tying, rappelling, short pitching, short roping, navigation and many more. If time permits we will take a deep dive into rock rescue etc. If you have these skills already please contact us and we can make this a 3 day Itinerary.

This climb is the test piece for glacier climbing in the lower 48. This climb is great preparation for the Matterhorn and Carstensz Pyramid. This will prepare you for more technical glacier/ rock routes in the north cascades and across the globe.
