Welcome

Idaho Mountain Guides has provided guiding courses and custom climbing experiences since 2005. We are honored to provide the highest-quality and most fun experience possible. We partner with the BLM, Idaho Parks and Recreation, Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board, and other entities to support and protect our beautiful climbing areas. All of our lead guides are American Mountain Guides Association Single Pitch Instructors (SPI). The SPI is the only internationally recognized single pitch climbing instructor certification program in the United States.
