Mountaineering and Rock Climbing

Encourage your group to go beyond their comfort zone by giving them a challenge that will leave a lasting mark on their personal confidence and journey with Christ. We offer single or multi-day rock climbing experiences that will be approachable to anyone. Or if you are ready to take on the biggest challenge of your life try mountaineering. The Cascades are known around the world as the training ground for climbers as well as a doorway for those interested in the sport. Whether your group decides to attempt summiting one of Washington’s volcanoes or a smaller but inspiring peak, mountaineering will provide your group with the chance to rely and trust each other to achieve something greater than any individual could do on their own.
