Rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, backcountry skiing and search and rescue operations are inherently dangerous. Hiring a guide can help minimize risk, however there are no guarantees that you will not seriously injured, disabled or killed while participating in our activities. " ALPINISM is the art of climbing mountains in such a way as to face the greatest risk with the greatest prudence. ART is taken here to mean the knowledge realized in action. You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down - so why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. In climbing take careful note of the difficulties along your way; for as you go up you can observe them. Coming down you will no longer see them, but you will know they are there if you have observed them well. There is an art of finding one's direction in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know." - Rene Daumal , Mount Analogue http://www.killingtonmountainguides.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1452905851803-8ZHC6OQDPFUABPCCWVMI/Valhalla+Mtn+Touring+Selkirks+BC+1.3+1.10.16+093.JPG KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/b75a17bb-d6c2-4222-9032-dd61dcaa15a3/kmtg+3.png KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1519583361626-3CL096FSOP15NUVCKS9V/DSC_0167.JPG KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES Dale climbing up to Wolverine Cirque, backcountry Alta, Utah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1565008485524-E7GC5IHY7OX2R3C4N6HM/laura+lead.jpg KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES Learn To Lead - Location : Marble Colorado https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1520864817475-1ROXULFLRJ3MY0QTQ17R/DSC_0288.JPG KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES Corey Potter digging a trench on the Killington Tour https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1520864910007-G65L908SDJ8JD6IEF5ME/IMG_3548.JPG KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES KMG Guide checking the trail conditions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1576672526993-77JPZIAZF1OLLVJMMS98/Revelstoke+BC+wilderness+RMG.jpg KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES Guide training Revelstoke British Columbia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1479991179778-HUM212ZTQEWWAVRJRPB1/image-asset.png KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1479992408336-LKL0BWE2WF3TF0ZC7E6X/bd.png KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1479992050273-8239FL6RFE3K72EJN0ET/image-asset.png KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1509670042137-SA0XAKL08A2OK8YGNIES/goggles9.png KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1576672829817-55HP0Y6FLHZLFNEHNGZT/usa.jpg KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1576672854923-TJL38F6S0EUSSE1386X9/usfslogo.png KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1576672875140-6CAXZGASF3Y5QCPBMVUL/vt%2Bfpr.png KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529a06c6e4b05482b01bc7f6/1504578832868-KIZXCGQCBRJNRK1RHBF7/20+below+0.jpg KILLINGTON MOUNTAIN GUIDES Vermont's Premier Guide Service & Climbing School!
