Northwest Mountain School

The Northwest Mountain School is a professional guide service organized to provide instruction for beginning and experienced climbers interested in mountaineering, rock climbing, expedition climbing, and ski mountaineering. We are based in Leavenworth Washington and have permits to climb in most areas in Washington, and have access to IFMGA countries such as France, Switzerland, and Canada through John Race's IFMGA certification. Our climbing and skiing instruction programs all take place in wilderness settings and are led by professional mountain guides. You do not need previous climbing experience to participate in many programs. We can organize extended expeditions to nearly any location in the world.
