Description

There are a number of wonderful peaks to scale throughout Alaska. And Mount Bona (5,040m) is definitely at, or near the top of the list. This incredible stratovolcano is one of the highest volcanoes in all of North America, sitting comfortably at number 4.

It is our goal over the course of 12 days for you not to only reach the summit of Mount Bona, but to have an unforgettable experience during the ascent. With that goal in mind, we will see to it that you enjoy the climb every step of the way. We will also make sure you are given ample time to rest and acclimatize, so you can enjoy the ascent safely as well.

Just a few of the amazing sights you will get to see on this ascent include the Klutlan glacier (3,200m), Mount Logan (6,050m), the neighbouring Mount Churchill (4,766m) and Mount St. Elias (5,488m). Furthermore, not only from the summit, but at the various camps we will be spending our nights, you will also get to admire the gorgeous scenery of the Wrangell – St. Elias National Park and Preserve. This spectacular natural reserve is as enormous as it is gorgeous. It is over 53,000 square kilometres of pure natural wonder, and from the summit of Mount Bona, you will get to see a great deal of it!

While Mount Bona is a gorgeous peak, and a great one to climb, it is also a very challenging mountain to scale. As a result, participants should have previous mountaineering experience, and be in good physical condition.

If you are looking for a true Alaskan adventure in a place that will show just how beautiful Alaska really is, this is definitely the trip for you. So send us a request, and let us guide you to the top of largest volcano in the United States.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
