Recently, we got a call from a family planning to camp near Tahoe who wanted to fit some climbing into their trip. They had one short day to climb and a long list of what they wanted out of it.

Rather than spending their one precious climbing day wandering through the woods and analyzing guidebooks to find the perfect spot, that family chose to climb with one of our Tahoe guides. That meant they didn’t have to deal with any of the confusion or stress of figuring out where to go, how to get there, and which routes best fit their goals. No navigating confusing trails, being stumped by forest closures, or spending hours planning exactly how to chase the day's shade.

Hiring a knowledgeable, AMGA-certified guide helps you maximize your climbing days (and minimize your stress) if you’re planning to climb in Tahoe this fall. It’s almost prime time on Tahoe granite, with cool mornings and sunny afternoons. If you're passing through this season, a private day is the best way to get the most out of your time here.

Your path to finally going beyond the resort boundary.

Find some breathing room from the lifts, crowds, and lines, and take your skills into some of the best ski terrain in California. This course is meant to teach intermediate-and-above skiers and riders everything they need to know to execute a simple backcountry tour.

Backcountry 1.0 is the place to start. In one winter, you could take your level all the way up to expert with our Backcountry series and AIARE courses.

We offer Backcountry 1.0 every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday December to April. Booking is open now.

You probably need an AIARE refresher course if…

it’s been a season or more since your last AIARE rescue course,

you haven’t ever practiced your skills with your new ski-touring friend group,

or you’re gearing up to lead your friends into the backcountry this winter.

It takes reps to master these skills, and the refresher is the perfect way to get those in if you already have some training, but it’s been a while. Plus, get the most up-to-date techniques and knowledge from guides who are staying current on the latest info.

Wondering what a Tahoe-area climbing day or an afternoon on the Via Ferrata with Alpenglow is actually like? Take it from the families who’ve climbed with us!

If you’re spending the tail end of summer with us, we know it’s our job to make sure you have the best time. Whether it’s a private Via Ferrata tour, trip around the Tahoe area’s greatest-hit crags, or a day focused on exactly the skills you want to learn, climbing with us is a great way to get the absolute most for the time you invest in an experience.

This is what nostalgia in the making looks like.

School’s back in session, but there’s still plenty to learn outside. Here are two ideas to make your kids’ week:

#1: Surprise them with an unexpected afternoon climbing the Via Ferrata. Reward their hard work during the first few weeks of school with incredible views of Palisades Tahoe and an exciting climb (for you and for them!).

#2: Or, get even more adventurous and book a private half-day of rock climbing for family time that’s almost guaranteed to become “the good old days.”

Summer’s not over yet! Weekday or weekend, we’re here to help you squeeze the last drops of summer fun out of Tahoe.

A full day of climbing, tailored to you.

The skills you want and the pace you learn are 100% unique. Private days of climbing mean no time wasted and the freedom to chase the goals you already have in mind.

If you want to advance a specific climbing skill, we can build a day around it: placing gear, crack climbing, multi-pitch systems, transitions, whatever you're working on.

Or maximize your time in Lake Tahoe with a full day guided by someone who knows the terrain well. Suited to experienced climbers looking for mileage, or families wanting a paced, personal introduction to climbing.

Lean on the expertise of our AMGA-certified rock guides to create an itinerary that suits you.

Get in touch to start building your day.

UPDATE: Snake D**e has been chopped.

What does this say about us as a sport and a community? How does this look to external stakeholders like the Park Service? What are the implications concerning the new legislation on land management?

Diving into this and more this week.

We're ripping this week with a sold-out Kid's Camp!

Our crew is spending their days rock climbing, hiking, and scaling the Tahoe Via Ferrata at Palisades Tahoe.

A few spots are open for the rest of the summer, with drop-in days available throughout!

The Eastern Sierra is the best climbing destination on the planet. 👏🏔️

In the most recent episode, we touch briefly on why the Sierra is so empty nowadays and how that lends itself to the Range of Light holding tightly to its top spot as a world climbing destination.
