Best Denali Climbing Guides 2025

I did a Denali climb with AAI in May of 2024 and they were awesome every step of the way. The guides were fantastic and the meals were amazing. I will definitely be booking another climb with them in the future.

Excellent guides who prepare you for the climb exceptional expedition planning and helpful & friendly staff in the store. did a 4 day Baker course and Denali expedition with them. highly recommended

THE guides to climb Mount Rainier with. They know the mountain better than anyone. Excellent training program. Extremely patient guides. Anyone seeking to climb Mount Rainier would be wise to do so with RMI. Used them twice--on my unsuccessful attempt in June 2022 (we could not go past Camp Muir due to avalanche danger) and my successful summit in 2023. Special shout-out to guide Joe Hoch who was extremely patient with me and the rest of our group despite me repeatedly stepping on the rope and traveling faster than his set pace on the upper reaches of the mountain. Also enjoyed glissading on the lower slopes. I look forward to using RMI's services again, perhaps to climb Denali in a few years.

My experience is a bit older meaning I went with RMI up to Rainier in 2003. I had a blast. First days was full of practice around the Paradise area and on the second day we went up to Camp Muir. Third day we did a lot of practicing again including crevasse rescuing. On the fourth day we went up to the summit and back to Camp Muir before we descended on the final day down to "base camp". The guide were great and provided an exceptional experience and also a lot of great stories about other climbs like Denali. All together it was the best mountaineer experience I had in my life.

I've climbed Denali, Aconcagua, and Elbrus with RMI and I have to say that they've been top notch on every single climb. Guides are super knowledgeable and friendly which makes the trip that much more enjoyable. While they take everything very seriously on these expeditions (as they should), they also are fun to be around. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again on any future expedition.
