If you have limited time, lack a partner, are not yet comfortable being completely self-reliant on multi-pitch climbs or simply want to share a climb with a guide, then a guided ascent of a classic route may be for you. Acadia Mountain Guides Climbing School offers guided rock and ice climbs for many different levels of ability in a variety of locations.
Acadia Mountain Guides can easily tailor a climbing lesson to meet your specific goals. If you are seeking to find out what rock climbing or ice climbing is all about, we recommend a half or a full day exposure to climbing. This is ideal for people of all ages whether they be individuals, couples, families or organized groups.
If you are a climber seeking to advance your skills, Acadia Mountain Guides can help you build confidence and competence in a multitude of advanced skills such as anchoring, direct belayed top roping, redirect belayed top roping, anchoring concepts and subtleties, establishing a functional master point, sport climbing, lead climbing, seconding (following) a lead climb, aid climbing, rope-solo techniques, basic to - way out there - self rescue skills, or professionally recognized guide training courses. Choose as many days as you wish and design a curriculum with an Acadia Mountain Guide to best fit your needs.
Are you an experience climber in need of a partner? Team up with an Acadia Mountain Guide to sample the classic routes of popular New England climbing areas such as Acadia National Park, Clifton, Camden or one of New Hampshire's many great rock or ice climbing areas (North Conway, Cannon). If you have a little more time, take an extended vacation with us to rock climb or ice climb in Quebec, Rocky Mountain National Park (CO), Red Rock Canyon (Las Vegas), Joshua Tree National Park (CA), or a host of other destinations around the globe.
