General Info:
International Mountain Guides directors Phil Ershler, and Paul Baugher organize and lead climbing, trekking and mountaineering expeditions around the world, from the classic climbs of the Alps and Andes to the 8, 000m peaks of the Himalayas. We continue to be one of the most respected and active guiding companies in the world. Since 1986 we have conducted hundreds of expeditions to destinations around the globe, and the fact that most of our customers climb with us again and again tells us we're doing things right! The single most important question to ask when searching for a guide service is: "Who is actually doing the guiding?" If you are not 100% satisfied with the answer, look for another organization.

Rainier and dozens of expeditions on Denali, the proving grounds of American alpine guiding.
