Whitefish is a charming resort town tucked in the Rocky Mountains of Northwest Montana, a stone’s throw away from Glacier National Park. It has long been one of the ski industry’s best-kept secrets, but now its deep-rooted climbing scene is also starting to turn heads. And deservedly so—Montana’s untouched crags are a perfect getaway from hyped-up spots that attract big crowds. Come and warm up on Upper Stow Water Canyon, then seek out the mighty Koocanusa Reservoir or stone hill, with 600-700 sport and trad routes on top-quality quartzite. The forest shade and cool mountain stream make this a delightful place to climb even in the summer.

Above all, your instructor’s number one priority is your safety. As long as you listen to the given instructions, you’ll succeed in completing your climb.
All technical climbing equipment will be provided by your guiding service. However, if you have your own gear, feel free to bring it. You’ll need:
