Mountaineering:

Have you ever dreamed of climbing the big peaks around the world? Mountain Skills Climbing Guides offers basic and intermediate mountaineering courses in the Catskill's, Adirondack's of New York and White Mountains of New Hampshire.

The high peaks of the Adirondack's offer some great opportunities for learning the ropes to get you started on your adventure. Climbing Classic routes like the 2000 foot Trap Dike on Mt. Colden, The Eagle Slide on Giant Mt. or one of the other countless slides in the Adirondack's.  These are great winter or summer objectives. 

In the White Mountains, the classic New England Presidential Traverse in winter or summer months is the first step towards climbing the big peaks like Mt Rainier or Denali.  A Presidential Traverse, as it is known to climbers and hikers in New England, is a strenuous trek over the Presidential Range of New Hampshire's White Mountains.  The Presidential Range is a string of 7 summits over 4,000ft including the infamous Mt. Washington.  The Presidential Traverse is usually done in two to three days.

Warning: Hiking and Mountaineering is inherently dangerous. All those who participate in hiking or mountaineering with Mountain Skills Climbing Guides do so at their own risk.
