Ice Climbing. Hyalite Canyon is the largest grouping of natural water ice in Montana and until the
snow gets deep is easily accessible by car from Bozeman. The canyon and its drainages support
over 70 ice climbs from short topropable climbs to climbs that have never been repeated. Climbers
from all over the world come to Bozeman to test their water ice climbing skills. Hyalite Canyon
because of its easy access and many climbing options is an exceptional place to learn to ice
climbing. Many moderate routes also allow access to a multitude of half day and day long ice
climbs. The beauty and excitement of climbing a frozen waterfall for the first time is something a
climber will never forget and is the capstone experience for even the most seasoned rock climber.
If you are in the Bozeman area during late October (most years) come climb the frozen waterfalls
in Hyalite Canyon. Montana Alpine Guides is the only guide service permitted to guide ice climbing
in this world renowned ice climbing destination. We can customize a day of ice climbing instruction
or guide clients on multi-pitch ice climbing routs.
Montana Alpine Guides plans and runs international climbing and skiing trips to South America.
Ever dreamt of climbing the highest peaks in the hemisphere? Or skiing powder on untracked
volcanoes. Montana Alpine Guides can help. At Montana Alpine Guides we feel that the best way to
guide international climbing and skiing is to let the group chose their own expedition.

The Summit Climb is Montana Alpine Guides' most popular half-day climb and is an outstanding
climb for the first-time climber. We have guided climbers as young as 5 and as old as 70 on this
climb, and we would enjoy climbing with you too. We have an impeccable safety record, with no

This climbing class is most useful for those who have already tried climbing and want to learn the
climbing craft and eventually will climb on their own. The beginning of the class is spent mastering
knot tying, belaying, rappelling, climbing techniques, and safety. The rest of the class is spent
practicing the techniques on some challenging climbs. The cost is $75/climber.
Ascent of Skyline Buttress - Beginner to Intermediate
The Guided Ascent of Skyline Buttress is a beginner to intermediate climb of the longest route in the
Gallatin Canyon. This is a three quarter day private ascent. The climbing is uncomplicated, but the

adventuresome beginner or intermediate climber. The cost is $125/climber and the group size is
limited to three.
Ascent of The Waltz - Intermediate
The Waltz is one of the Gallatin Canyon's oldest climbs. It is an intermediate half day climb which
wanders its way up the first two tiers of this beautiful tower and ends with a long rappel back to the

The cost is $85/climber and is limited to a maximum of three climbers.

teach anchoring, leading (traditional and sport), gear placement, rope handling, and advanced
climbing technique. Participants must have previously taken a class equivalent to the Beginning

Private ascents of The Standard Route on the Gallatin Tower, Spare Rib, The Watchtower,
Revenue and Humbug Spires, and others can be tailored to your ability and group size. Learn to
