What To Expect

Ever wanted to camp on the side of a cliff with a 1000 ft of air beneath you and watch the stars and wake up to the sun rising over snowcapped peaks in an alpine river valley only to have breakfast and coffee in bed?

If you want to do things most people never ever do, and you're not afraid to get a little scared in a very safe way, come cliff camping with us. Reach out with questions 🙂

Itinerary:

We'll meet at 2 pm and have a thorough safety introduction before starting our 4 pitch world-class rock climb to the top of a 1000 ft granite cliff with views out over the Skykomish River. For non-climbers a walking approach is possible.

At the top we'll take photos, eat appetizers, and go over everything you need to know about cliff camping. From there, you'll be lowered onto the ledge and the guide will come down to help you get settled. We'll take a bunch of wild photos before having dinner on the ledge the way the climbers do it — delicious backpacker meals and whatever beverages you chose to bring.

After a cozy, if unnerving, night in your sleeping bag you'll wake up whenever and have breakfast and coffee in bed before packing up and rappeling all the way to the ground.
