GUIDED TRIP

Mountaineering Adventure

Experience the deep wilderness of the Shoshone National Forest and push your limits while summiting one of the iconic peaks in the Absoraka Mountain Range. Our custom mountaineering trips are designed to meet your specific goals and objectives–whether it is an alpine start straight to the summit or a scenic multi-day overnight trip with peak bagging along the way.

    • Customized trip itineraries to meet the goals and abilities of each individual

    • Summit iconic peaks such as Pilot, Index, Sunlight, Dead Indian, etc.

    • Learn mountaineering and safe backcountry travel skills

  • Be prepared to carry a pack weighing 30-50lbs depending on the weight of your personal gear and trip length. Porters are strongly encouraged and cost an additional $300/day (plus reservation costs). Porters allow participants to save energy on the way in and the way out so they can focus on the climb.

  • No technical experience is required; however basic fitness levels must be met depending on the objective. We offer an "Alpine Trainer Day" for those with limited mountaineering experience.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

“Everything about our Gannett Peak climb with MAG was first class, from the initial trip planning to our return to Crowheart.  Our guide (Ty) put us at ease with his knowledge and safety consciousness, no small issue given the remoteness and ruggedness of the terrain, which included unusually heavy snow cover during our early July ascent. The food was fresh, varied, and well prepared – not at all like the freeze dried backpacking food we were expecting. Finally, the Cold Springs trail that MAG uses is both stunningly beautiful and uncrowded. We saw perhaps a dozen other climbers during our five day trip. All in all, it was a truly rewarding experience.”
