Join professional mountain guides for an exciting rock-climbing adventure on the rocky crags of the Chilkat Valley near Haines. There are great climbs for all abilities, and no prior experience is necessary -- perfect for those looking for their first climbing experience or experienced climbers looking for a challenge.
Your tour begins with a short interpretative drive through the town and along the Chilkat River Valley. From the highway, you'll hike uphill for about 15 minutes. At the base of majestic rock cliffs overlooking the scenic Chilkat Valley and surrounding peaks, don rock-climbing shoes, a helmet and a harness.
Listen to a safety briefing and a basic introduction to climbing. Then, rope up and start climbing, with a series of rock routes to choose from. Some climbs are very easy; others offer more of a challenge. Each climb ends with a stunning view of the Chilkat River and the surrounding wilderness. Many of the professional mountain guides have guided on peak ascents in Alaska and around the world. They enjoy sharing their stories of adventures in the mountains. Participants will have the chance to climb three or four different routes, time permitting.
Afterward, everyone will enjoy the cliffside snack with hot cocoa and stunning views.
