Ease of access and high quality rock make our climbing site a unique Alaskan treasure

These trips emphasize developing scouts’ climbing technique and skills.  They are based on a hands-on approach and are conducted in an amazing alpine setting.  Towering peaks and glaciers provide a spectacular backdrop, and great terrain to develop climbing skills.   All climbing equipment is provided.

Exclusive Rock Climbing, Located in Skagway, AK

Skagway is a small community located at the top of the inside passage, just 15 miles north of Haines.  Surrounded on three sides by steep mountains, our rock climbing adventures take us high up to beautiful views of the surrounding Alaskan wilderness. Our rock climbing site is exclusive to Chilkoot High Adventure Base and our sister company Alaska Mountain Guides.

The Climbing

Skagway offers ease of access to high quality rock, a rare and distinctive aspect in Southeast Alaska. Our well developed climbing site offers something for everyone, from introductory climbs to challenging and complex routes. Scouts will enjoy stunning views of the valley and on a clear day even see down the fjord towards Haines and the Chilkat Mountains.
