Description

Join us for this 2-day winter camping experience near Seattle, in which we will learn all the necessary skills to camp in the cold successfully.

After meeting in the Seattle metro area, we will head out to the trailhead. Depending on the weather conditions, we will decide where to go closer to the time. We want to avoid any areas where there may be avalanche advisories.

Once we are at the trailhead we will plan our route using GPS or wands, if there is fresh snow. Once we have hiked to the site, we will set up camp and learn how to fortify it.

The next day we will hike to a destination of our choosing and you will help to plan the route and navigate our way there. Along the way we will discuss winter ecology and snow conditions. All of these are essential for winter trekking and camping in more remote locations.

After our hike, we will return to camp and pack everything up then hike back down to the trailhead. On the way back to Seattle, we will stop at a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this winter camping experience in the Cascade Range of wonderful Washington state!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
