Trip: Custom Day of Rock Climbing in Lake Tahoe - Private

Guide: Ben H.

I had a fantastic day out yesterday with Ben at Donner Summit. My first time climbing in the Tahoe area on a sightseeing holiday over from the UK. Ben was very knowledgeable and skilled, easing me in to the style of climbing. We finished off on the amazing One Hand Clapping at Black Wall which certainly didn’t disappoint. A great day out and highly recommended if you are looking for mountain guiding services. Many thanks!

Trip: Steep Skiing & Mountaineering Camp

Guide: Connor C.

Successful trip into the Eastern Sierra's despite challenging weather and snow conditions. We were able to pivot during the trip to find a place to ski successfully. Connor and Valhalla know their skills and do a great job of talking through them and helping you understand them and when to apply them. We worked through various skills like crevasse rescue, ski belay, rappelling, snow and rock anchors and other various systems and skills. On this trip they provided tents and meals for morning and night, the food was good and the gear was great. Will definitely work with them again.

Trip: Mammoth AIARE Avalanche 1 Course

Guide: Zach L., Ben H.

I had an excellent experience with Valhalla Mountain Guides during the AIARE 1 course. Our instructor, Ben, was incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and created a supportive learning environment that made complex avalanche concepts easy to understand. The balance of classroom and hands-on field training was perfect, and I left feeling more knowledgeable about decision making in the backcountry. Highly recommend
