Ideal for those looking for their first climbing experience or for experienced climbers looking for a challenge. All the necessary equipment is included; you just need to provide a sense of fun and adventure. A drive through Haines and along the Chilkat River Valley leads to the highway where you'll hike uphill to the base of majestic rock cliffs overlooking the scenic Chilkat Valley. Here, you'll meet the professionally-trained guides and don rock climbing shoes, helmets and harnesses. After a safety briefing and climbing introduction from the guides you'll rope up and start climbing. There are a series of rock routes to choose from. Some climbs are very easy and others are more challenging but each ends with a stunning aerial view of the Chilkat River and the surrounding jagged peaks. Then, with the great outdoors as your dining room, you'll recharge with hot cocoa and a snack.
