Join Montana Alpine Guides and go rock climbing for a full- or half-day with your group! We love working with camps, businesses, private groups, or large families, and rock climbing is the perfect adventure for everyone!
Our guides are well versed in working with kids camps, families, and team building for businesses. Contact our office to arrange your custom group trip. We offer special pricing for large groups and can customize our outings to your needs!

Great climbs from beginners to intermediate abilities.
