Classic Sierra Peak Ascents
3rd Class climbs require the use of hands and feet but no previous rock climbing training is necessary and we bring a rope for safety. These are exhilarating and rewarding climbs for anyone in good physical shape who enjoys a limited amount of moderate exposure. Listed here are a few of our favorite peaks that fit in to this category. We list some with scheduled dates with prices based on a minimum of two. All can be booked any time with advanced reservation. See our private rates for custom dates.
Get in touch with our office for more specific information about a particular climb.
We can guide any class 3 route in the Sierra. These are just a few of the great climbs. If you are interested in one you don’t see listed contact our office!
