Sunrise Mountain Guides

Local. Experienced. Certified.

Sunrise Adventures is the premiere ice and rock climbing school and guide service in the Green Mountains. Our guides climb extensively in the area and around the world – many of the local climbs are first ascents by our staff.  Our backyard includes Smuggler's Notch and Lake Willoughby, two of the most popular ice climbing destinations in the Northeast - no one knows these areas like our guides! Call or email today to reserve a course, or just to find out the most up-to-date conditions for Smuggler's Notch. Climbing isn't a sport - its a lifestyle!

Winter has arrived - now is the time to get out your gear, make sure you're all set with new picks, sharp crampons, and the right winter clothing.
