A selection of Classic Alpine Climbing Rates:

The rates of these Alpine climbs are usually a very long day (12 or more hours) and have long approaches.  The climbing itself has a high commitment level, and no easy walk- offs.  The rates that I have shown are only for the summit day.  Some of these bigger and more remote Mountains take anywhere from 3 to  6 days to climb.  You can count on my regular base rate for the other days.
