Climbed Kilimanjaro? Next up: South America’s highest mountain – Aconcagua! This Seven Summit located in the Andes requires crampons and ice axe. Our unique longer route circumnavigates the mountain, rather than following the typical out-and-back path that most companies take.

July

Colorado 14er - Silverton, Colorado - 5 Day

Wanting to get high domestically or see what you are made of? Come to Colorado, home to 54 mountains that rise over 14,000 feet. To go any higher, you'd have to journey to Alaska! This sport and state are what inspired Belay to pursue an education and career in The Great Outdoors!
