Private Half Day of Rock Climbing with Alpenglow Expeditions

Come rock climbing on Donner Summit, just outside of Truckee, CA!

These easy to moderate climbing crags provide the ideal place to enjoy rock climbing with friends and family. Whether you’re a new or seasoned rock climber, or somewhere in between, our rock guides cater to your specific needs, goals, and abilities. Talk to us about your ideas and ambitions, and let us customize the perfect day for you!

For beginners, a day with Alpenglow Expeditions means climbers get educated on a few basic knots, belay techniques, and climbing movement. The focus for the day stays on fun, safety, and learning to rock climb. If you’re already experienced in the climbing world, let’s talk about how you’d like to spend your day with us!

THE ALPENGLOW DIFFERENCE

As a Tahoe guide company with countless expeditions to high-altitude peaks around the world over the last 15 years, we bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to our beloved “home mountain”. Our teaching and guiding philosophy has been honed from the flanks of the Himalayan giants to the technical peaks of Peru, and we are beyond excited to be able to bring our program to this fantastic mountain. In addition to our international expedition roots, we are accredited by the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA), being one of the very few guide services in the region to hold such a high standard. Each of our guides is trained by the AMGA in the terrain in which they operate, and the program is supervised by internationally licensed IFMGA mountain guides. This high standard, along with our many years of experience, translates to a fantastic mountain adventure!

Alpenglow Expeditions operates under special use permit with the Tahoe, Eldorado, Inyo, Humboldt-Toiyable and Shasta-Trinity National Forests. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Technical

Anyone can enjoy a day of rock climbing in Lake Tahoe. There are no fitness or technical requirements.
You tell us –
Let us know what your goals are

Whether you’d like to learn basic rock climbing skills, focus on a specific method or style of climbing, or send as many different routes as possible, you and your guide will work together to create the perfect day.

For half days, we usually meet at the crag between 8am-9am, or 12pm-1pm. From there, it’s up to you how the day plays out. For an introductory climbing day, we’ll spend a few minutes going over the basics of climbing safety and movement before tying in. If you are already experienced, we can get on the wall right away.
