Mountain Trip Avis 28

Hands down the best operators on Denali, and the best guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ty, Aili & Taylor led our group of five in May 2025. Their combined experience turned what is technically a very inhospitable and hazardous place into a safe and fun experience for us all. We all learned heaps of technical skills from them, right down to the very small tips and tricks that only come from 10+ trips to the Alaskan Range.

They went above and beyond in every way, and each brought their own unique style and energies. Always hard working and always positive. They were a perfect model for us to (try to) emulate in terms of managing yourself and a group on a long expedition. As a guiding team they were damn near perfect. Every decision they made was well considered, weighed up based on each of their experiences, communicated expertly, and every single time was correct.

Once you reach 17k camp, and go beyond for the summit push their experience is even more important. Things become a level more serious, and that was handled with respect and in a way that gave us a lot of confidence in them. Planning from here involved the Mountain Trip office via radio also, and ultimately they put together a plan which saw safe and successful summits. Once back at camp we were back to the fun humour and laughing that defined our trip, but I respected the manner with which the summit push was treated and ultimately tackled to make it as safe as possible.

You’ll find that Mountain Trip are usually the most recommended company when you ask around about Denali. This is what led me to them, and my experience has me echoing that whole heartedly. This mountain poses considerable risks, and at a minimum is a huge investment of both training and money. To ensure the best chances of a safe and positive experience I’d look to no one else. Thank you all for such a great trip.

Outstanding service from booking the trip all the way through the adventure. I will definitely use Mountain Trip again. Thank you!

Great guides and overall experience. I have used Mountain Trips many times and will again.

The via ferrata looks intimidating but is pure fun. My nephew, 13 years old, is a competitive climber, so he was in his element, as was I, as I have climbed for years. My wife is an occasional climber, and I can attest that she loved the day! It's long enough to feel like a good day, and short enough that you stay enthusiastic to the end. Wonderful!

The whole adventure of the Via Ferrata was amazing from start to finish. Our guide was exceptional and I highly recommend that you take a guide from Mountain Trip. The female guide we had was really fun, fit, relaxed, an exceptional climber and made us feel at ease during some challenging areas of the route. Also, it is nice to have pictures taken from the guide of you along the way. Thank you Mountain Trip for an awesome experience.

This was an experience I will never forget! The views and excitement were exhilarating. I want to do this again with my friends. Great guide. He reassured me. I would hire them again.

My son and I participated in Mountain Trip's Via Ferrata activity in Telluride - great customer service, attention to safety, and professionalism. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Via Ferrata in Telluride was an awesome time with a great guide, I would absolutely recommend Mountain Trip to anyone.

Mountain Trip was our guide on Telluride's Via Ferrata. Had a great time. They are very knowledgeable, experienced and made for an awesome day for our group of four girls. Will definitely use them again this Fall. Highly recommended.

Definitely a life altering experience for me. It helped reboot my extreme drive for adventure!
Thank you!

You need 10 stars! It was an awesome trip! First and foremost, I felt safe! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and very VERY patient! I think when selecting an putting like the Via Ferrata, one should make sure that the outfitter they use is qualified and SAFE. Hands down. My guide was very qualified and took out safety very seriously. The via ferrata itself was an u forgettable experience and recommend folks who like adventure such at that visit telluride and do the via ferrata and most importantly with this outfitter!

Todd and his kids guided my family on the Via Ferrata last summer. High adventure with a safe and trusted outfit. Can’t wait to go back! 😎

Such a great experience! The guides were knowledgeable and you can tell they really loved what they do! We had a great time

Was not sure what I signed up for but sooo happy I did it. The group was small and helpful. it was a "once in a lifetime" adventure.
