Climbing

The Saint Michael's Wilderness Program offers an array of rock, ice and alpine climbing opportunities for beginner to advanced climbers. Our programs are designed to maximize climbing time and develop strong fundamental skills. We achieve this by maintaining a client to instructor ratio of no greater than 3:1 and by training our instructors to a high standard.

Many of our instructors are associate or individual members of the American Mountain Guide Association (AMGA), and have completed and intensive training curriculum that includes top rope site management and SOLO Wilderness First Responder or EMT.

Many of our programs require no prior experience and the WP provides all of the technical equipment, to include, ropes, harnesses, helmets, rock shoes, chalk, protection, mountaineering tools, technical tools, crampons and mountaineering boots. For a list of personal equipment refer to our packing list section.
