We are always happy to talk with you! Let's set up a time to get on the line and decide if this climb is right for you and chart a course specific to your needs.



Hit reset and spark adventure in your life

Ready for the Ascent?

How Difficult is this climb?

This trip is the perfect introduction to mountaineering. You don’t need to have any previous experience, though any experience with backpacking, camping, or climbing will help - the more comfortable and relaxed you are in the environment, the more enjoyable it will be. 

You will need to be in shape to hike 5-7 hours gently uphill on our first day of travel with a 40 lb. pack, the second day is a skills day, and the third day is our summit climb, which demands a full day of hiking but not with a full pack. 

Matt will work with you, and your trainer is appropriate, to make sure your training and fitness sets you up for success. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Come Alone or Can I bring Another?

Yes. And yes! Climbers join MWA programs each for their own unique reasons: a personal challenge, a desire to take a retreat and dive deep, connect and share an experience with a significant other, sibling, parent/child, or close friend. Join by yourself, with another, all are welcome.
