Mountain Climb - 14,000' peaks and more

Mountaineering or alpine climbing, the ultimate mountain experience, gets you into the heart of the mountains. Mountains provide the water of life and each summit provokes a renewed sense of spirit. From lush alpine valleys you climb up to the summits of spectacular 14,000' peaks around the Aspen Snowmass Wilderness.

Let us take you on a climb to enhance your appreciation of nature or to complete your personal quest of mountain peaks. With one of our AMGA certified or trained mountain guides, ascend one of Aspen's Seven Summits: North Maroon Bells, South Maroon Bells, Pyramid Peak, Capitol Peak, Castle Peak, Snowmass Peak or Mount Sopris. From these summits you often experience a powerful sense of accomplishment.

North Maroon Bells Peak

Climb the classic 14,000' North Maroon Peak in one day. Considered to be one of the most photographed peaks in the world!

South Maroon Bells Peak

Climb the classic remote 14,000' South Maroon Peak in one day. This mountain is often ideal early season as a snow ascent/descent of the classic South "Y" Couloir.

Pyramid Peak

Many consider Pyramid Peak's exposure as exciting, if not more than that of Capitol Peak. Pyramid is a great peak for ones' first foray into the "technical" peak category.

Capitol Peak

Located in the heart of the Elk Mountains, climbing Capitol Peak is an overnight mountaineering experience. It is considered the most challenging 14,000' peak in Colorado.

Snowmass Peak

Snowmass Peak truly has one of the most scenic approaches and camping spots of all of Colorado's 14,000' peaks. Unique in that it offers a near year round alpine snow climb ascent.

Castle Peak

An ideal beginner 14'er that still offers an exciting summit ridge with breath taking views. This peak is well suited for snow or ski ascent/descents for much of the year.

Mount Sopris

Considered the largest single mountain (by circumference) in Colorado. Mount Sopris is a great introductory mountain for those new to altitude or mountain climbing.
