Travel Expenses
There are no Slipstream guides living in these areas and so we need
to travel there. The travel expenses are typically just enough to
gas but sometimes include a bit of travel time for the guide. Sometimes
we can waive these costs when our guides are already in the area
or for a longer program. Guests are responsible for there own transportation
to and from the meeting place, usually the nearest town. Call us
for more details.
If you choose a time that our guides are already in this area conducting
a course, the Travel Costs are waived, making a cheaper experience
for you. Check out our Special Deals page
to find our when and where our guides are traveling.

routes. It can be unbearably hot in summer but its dry climate makes
it an ideal fall and spring destination.

LEAVENWORTH, Washington
Located in an alpine lakes wilderness area above the small Bavarian
theme town of Leavenworth lie many opportunities to experience rugged
granite alpine climbing. This area has a relatively long season
(May - Sept/Oct) due to a dry climate caused by rain shadow effects
from the surrounding peaks. This makes it an ideal place to summit
while enjoying beautiful vistas in a fine alpine setting (rather
than trying to catch glimpses of scenery through angry thick fog).
Recommended Climbing Season: May - October
Costs: Full Day: 1 person $298 2 people $178 each
Plus Travel Costs: $100

Equipment List
You will need a UIAA approved harness and helmet and a pair of
climbing shoes for these climbs. If you do not have access to these
things, we can supply them for a small fee:
- Harness - $2
- Helmet - $3
- Shoes - $5
If you are being guided for a full day bringing lunch is recommended.
Just remember to bring food that can be packed into a small climbing
pack (not a huge picnic spread) and provides you with a good burst
of energy (celery sticks are not recommended).
