"I'd been to Nepal before, but traveling with Alpine Ascents was a
different trip altogether. The trek logistics were flawlessly organized,
from Kathmandu to Base Camp (even the layovers in Bangkok) so I could
concentrate on enjoying the countryside. Traveling with experienced guides
like Todd and Vern opens doors that are closed to most visitors. Not
only do those guys know the way, they know most of the people along the
way, and the result is a cultural experience unmatched by anything I've
experienced before. It's the way Himalayan travel should be." -
Peter Potterfield, Author of
High Himalaya and
Classic Hikes Of The World.

"Climbing Mt. McKinley with Alpine Ascents transformed a cold, logistically complicated climb into a rewarding, simple, and even socially rewarding experience. The food was plentiful and nourishing and the climbing schedule was demanding but sensible. These guys have been up the mountain long enough to dial in what works. Overall, if you want a good shot at climbing a tough mountain, go with Alpine Ascents."
-Joe Glickman, New York Times.

"Finally, there are the much-quoted $65,000 slots, with a couple of high-profile outfitters. I've gotten to know one of them, Alpine Ascents, quite well here at base camp, and have to admit, if I could afford it, I'd probably go for it. Cynics would argue that I'm saying this because I've gobbled up so much of Alpine Ascent's tea cake up here, but for a climber, to be able to climb with mountaineering legends like Vern Tejas or Willi Prittie is an experience akin to painting with Picasso or golfing with Palmer. In some cases, if you can afford it, 65 grand is not an overwhelming price to climb with the best. Now if you'll excuse me, I think Alpine Ascents is serving tea." Finn Olaf Jones - Discover.com
