Description

One of the best alpine rock climbing routes in the Cascades, the west ride of the Forbidden peak (2,687m) is a great climb.

For 2 exciting days, you will get the chance to climb the Forbidden peak to its summit, where you can enjoy some spectacular views of glaciers, alpine lakes and other peaks in the Cascades.

The trip will begin at a park and ride in Seattle at approximately 7:00 am. From there, we will take an approximate 2.5 hour drive to the trail head. After that, we will hike for approximately 3 to 4 hours to our campsite. At the campsite, at some nearby rocks, we will practice several important techniques for the climb to come. Those techniques include rope management, belaying a lead climber and connecting to an alpine rock anchor. Afterwards, we will enjoy a delicious hot dinner and sleep in our tents.

On the following day, we will wake up before sunrise. After breakfast, we will hike up to the beginning of the west ridge. We will choose our climbing route based on weather and snow conditions. From there, we will climb approximately 8 pitches to the top of the Forbidden peak. After you’ve enjoyed the view, we will then rappel back down.

The ascent will be challenging. As a result, it is required that participants have previous rock climbing experience. You should also have prior mountaineering experience, and be in good physical condition.

A great climb that will yield great views, this 2 day ascent of the west ridge of the Forbidden peak is a fantastic adventure. To enjoy it for yourself, just send me a request.

I can also take you on a one day climbing adventure on the Tooth, which is also located in the Cascades of Washington.

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!

Maxine

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.
