Excursion Rock climbing and rappelling (all levels) tour at Skagway

Boost your adrenaline on this exhilarating climbing adventure over the smooth granite walls of the White Pass. Climbs are available for all abilities and no experience is required.  None of the climbing is mandatory, and all guests will enjoy the cliff-side snack and stunning views.

Depart the pier and enjoy a short interpretive drive through historic Skagway en-route for the White Pass Mountain. From the Klondike Highway, you'll hike for approximately 300 feet (91.5 metres) to the base of majestic rock cliffs.  Here you will don rock climbing shoes, helmets and harnesses.

After a brief climbing introduction from the guides, your professional mountain guide will rope you up on one of multiple routes from which to choose from, some are easy and some are much more challenging, but all offer stunning views of the Skagway River, the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, and the surrounding wilderness.

Additionally, you can experience rappelling down the high cliffs. This adventure is perfect for those looking for a first climbing experience, but also for experienced climbers.

At the conclusion of the tour walk back down the trail to your awaiting vehicle for the return drive to Skagway.  On arrival re-board the ship or walk to town to continue your adventures.
