Private Climbs

Our Expertise at Your Convenience

While we celebrate our famed expeditions worldwide, certain situations are perfect for a private guided trip. Please note that permitting on Mount McKinley | Denali is difficult but we do offer a few private climbs each season, for those who want to travel in very small teams.

If you would like information on the above please contact Gordon Janow to help take a look at private ascents of Mount McKinley | Denali.

Quality was to the highest standards starting with guides (amazing), food (amazing), and group gear. – 2019 Climber

Each season Alpine Ascents operates a number of private climbs for various reasons:

  • Any individual or group with a desired start date
  • Custom itinerary or specific trip additions
  • Needing special attention or a longer itinerary to allow more time to acclimatize
  • Media Groups and filmmakers
  • Climbs as fundraisers for non-profits

Having said all of this, I have to say that my 6-day Alaska course and my Denali climb last year were the highlights of my life! The 6-day class by itself was extremely fun, interesting, and educational.
