Best Mount Shasta Climbing Guides 2025

Great group of guides, who offer a multitude of services ranging from rock & ice climbing, to secure summits of Mount Shasta, which has several routes, ALL requiring expert guide service for success & safety purposes.

If you want to climb or are thinking about trying out mountaineering in the Eastern Sierra or Mount Shasta area go with SWS. I used them for several climbs and have always been impressed by the guide’s professionalism and leadership. They deserve ten stars.

SWS provided us with a custom 2 day Mount Shasta climb and ski descent. We were fortunate to have amazing conditions and an absolutely fantastic ski descent. Kory's knowledge and reading of conditions played no small part in this. The approach to guiding by Kory and SWS was excellent being friendly, knowledgeable, adaptable / appropriate to the group and certainly not patronising. Highly recommended.

Great group of guides, which offer a multitude of services from rock & ice climbing, to secure Mount Shasta summits. Well worth the money, as Shasta has many routes, which ALL require expert guidance 👍

SWS Mountain Guides did a great job on our climb of Mount Shasta via the Hotlum Bolam Ridge route. They are very professional and experienced, and safety is clearly priority number one. I look forward to go with Kique and Eric on another climb.
