Recent Client Comments

"Nate Disser, owner of Southwest Adventure Guides, recently led me on Artesonraju in Peru's Cordillera Blanca, and I found him to be outstanding. He was extremely safe and knowledgeable, a great climber, and even capable of telling relatively funny jokes each morning. As a blind climber, I've done expeditions all around the world and dealt with all kinds of local outfitters and guide services; Southwest Adventure Guides is the best!"

  • Ski the Peaks!: The winter of 2007/2008 has been a great year for snow in the San Juans. Now is the time to tick off one of those classic ski descents you've always dreamed of doing. Spring is the best time to enjoy solid snow conditions on some of the area's most sought after peaks for backcountry ski enthusiasts. March - April, 2008

  • Alaska, Mount Bona Expedition: An excellent precursor to a climb of Denali, Mt. Bona is one of the best peaks to get your Alaska mountaineering skills up to snuff. The St. Elias Range also happens to be one of the world's best kept secrets for climbing and mountaineering. May 25 - June 5, 2008
