WHY HIRE ASCENDING PATH GUIDES:
For over 20 years, Ascending Path has been facilitating wilderness adventures with an outstanding safety record. We carefully manage risk by mindfully calculating the dynamic formula of probability and consequence. By hiring a qualified guide you are getting a sincere wilderness enthusiast with local knowledge of current conditions, climbing and wilderness industry standard risk-management. Many of our guides hold multiple professional certifications and advanced degrees. We know how to use our equipment properly and we happily teach the right way to climb, paddle and hike in Alaska’s wilderness. Some guides know the Latin names of nearly every plant on a trip and we may even know a few stupid jokes…
A professionally guided trip should be an educational experience with a patient, experienced, fun leader who can not only take great photos of you, but who knows Alaska inside and out.
