Mountaineering Courses

School is in! Well, actually, school is outside…in the amazing mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Learn mountaineering skills from Seattle’s best professional climbing instructors!

KAF Adventures has created a concise and complete educational progression of courses to develop the most well-rounded and complete alpinists anywhere.

Each course is specifically designed to move you further along the journey toward becoming a competent climber and outdoors person. We offer a wide variety of courses and climbs to fulfill your mountaineering goals. Our unique style and mission is based on educating climbers in the best learning environment necessary for their individual growth.

The KAF mountaineering progression diagram below shows you how you will flow through each course.

If you are unsure about where your previous experience or skill level places you in this spectrum, please contact us today!!!  Each individual has different needs and desires, and our greatest strength is our ability to read and direct each individual toward their clear progression to the top.

Please refer to each course heading in the drop-down menu above or the links below to see the complete description and curriculum outline for each class.

We understand that each person has different desires, previous experiences and varying amounts of free-time to dedicate to their outdoor passion.

Which is why KAF Adventures is more than happy to create a custom mountaineering course, a separate personally guided climb, and a unique progression to suit your individual needs and schedule.

If you have any questions, please visit the registration page or contact us on the contact bar on the left side of this page.

We encourage you to take ownership of your education.  Call and ask some questions. We’d love to chat with you about your current climbing level and what you are interested to learn and do. Let’s go climbing!

And take a look at our wilderness backpacking trips and courses, too! We have some interesting excursions to the country’s most spectacular wilderness areas like Canyon Lands and the North Cascades!
