Are you interested in climbing in Montana? Let Reach Your Peak show you the best that Montana has to offer. Ron Brunckhorst has operated Reach Your Peak since 1991. Reach Your Peak is a southwest Montana based guiding and instruction business, with additional geographic locations near Bozeman. Whether you are looking to go ice climbing, rock climbing, or mountaineering, Ron Brunckhorst offers them all. Rock climbing is offered in both sport and traditional. The ice climbing ranks with the best in North America, and the mountaineering is through the best scenic mountain ranges in Montana.
Are you tired of the over-populated and trampled climbing areas? Then come climbing in Montana where Ron Brunckhorst knows the places to go. You'll enjoy rock climbing areas with more than 100 routes and no other climbers around. The rock climbing also varies immensely in rock types of granite, limestone, gneiss, etc.
The Castle Mountains is one of those areas that offer numerous routes on both granite and limestone. Ron Brunckhorst has pioneered the Castle Mountain routes with family and friends since he was a kid. The low-keyed area is an enjoyable welcome to clients wanting to get off the beaten path.
Hyalite Canyon is located near Bozeman and is now an early season destination for ice climbing. Hyalite Canyon has a wide variety of routes perfect for the beginner to the ice master. Hyalite Canyon has the highest concentration of ice climbing in Montana and is generally in good shape by mid November.
Ron Brunckhorst is a very knowledgeable and experienced climbing guide. Ron is also the author of Big Sky Ice, Montana's ice-climbing guide that covers ice routes from Glacier Park to Yellowstone Park. This is a very large geographic area with scenic if not remote climbing. Glacier Park contains a number of long, fat ice routes that are remote wilderness affairs. Glacier Park will entertain a generation of ice climbers to come. Yellowstone Park is accessed via vehicle from Montana's north entrance at Gardner. The Cooke City highway has a number of ice climbs between Mammoth and Cooke City. Just the wildlife encountered on this drive to Cooke City makes Yellowstone Park worth a drive in the winter to the ice climber.
Reach Your Peak offers mountaineering in the Tobacco Root and Pioneer Mountain ranges. Mountaineering in these ranges is the best of both worlds. The Tobacco Roots are very accessible via mining roads from decades before making for nice alpine cragging. The Pioneers on the other hand is a wilderness experience with fairly short approaches into scenic granite cirques. Both mountain ranges offer beautiful mountain lakes, magnificent vistas, and a certain sense of true uncertainty or adventure. The topography of these ranges allows a wide array of climbs from scrambles to technical ascents on both rock and snow.
Reach Your Peak also has permits for the following National Forests and BLM: Gallatin, Lewis & Clark, and Beaverhead - Deer Lodge.
In many instances your guide can give you first-hand history of the routes you are climbing, having pioneered a number of them through the last three decades. Reach Your Peak is guaranteed to give you a great experience in the heart of the unspoiled Montana. Come to Montana and climb!
Reach Your Peak is an equal oportunity provider.
