FAQ's

FAQ's

What should I bring with me?

Come prepared for a day in the snow. Use our linked Glacier Climbing gear list as a starting point, no need to bring overnight gear. We rent harnesses, helmets, crampons, and ice axes. Since this is a custom course, your guide will be in contact to talk specific gear needs.

Do I need to bring lunch?

We recommend bringing snack food to last you around 6 hours. Left over pizza, cheese and crackers, carrots and hummus, smoked salmon, peanut butter pretzels, and other favorite snacks! We will not break for a specific lunch time and will not have the ability to cook.

What will I learn?

We can teach any mountaineering, climbing, and skiing related material! If you are wanting to learn something, reach out to us and we can work together to create the ideal curriculum for you.

What if the weather is inclement?

We will teach in all but the most extreme of weather conditions. If the forecast is looking dangerous we will be in contact about rescheduling. If it is raining, snowing, windy, and or cold, we will teach - this will give us the opportunity to teach the skills necessary to take care of ourselves in extreme environments.

Who are the Custom Crafted lessons for?

These lessons are for any one. Since they are tailored to your specific needs we can offer them from an introductory level all the way to expert climbing techniques.

Where will my course be?

For a succesful mountaineering course we need snow, so we will go where the snow is. In the spring we will likely teach near Snoqualmie Pass. Later in the summer we will follow the snow higher into the mountains, likely around Mt. Baker. Depending on how technical of a course and what the focus is we may also use rock climbing crags, steeper snow slopes, and more mixed alpine terrain.
