We help create memories of a lifetime every day. We will share the vertical world, and show you the beautiful Black Hills summits with service so good you will recommend us to friends and neighbors.
We support Wilderness. We realize that we all have an impact on the environment, and try to mitigate it as much as possible by asking you to follow Leave No Trace practices while on our courses.
We support community, and believe in grass roots efforts to keep this planet healthy for the next generation. We respect those who came before us, and hope that they are remembered. We believe in the goodness of people and hope for peace.
We support silent human powered activities. We want to share the views from the summit, and take time to enjoy life.
We support fresh air, and believe that everyone needs a little outdoor adventure in their vacation.
The hills not only take men away from the complex mode of existence, but they teach them that to be happy it is necessary to have food, a shelter, and warmth. They bring them face to face with realities……And so from the hills we return refreshed in body, in mind and in spirit, to grapple anew with life’s problems. For awhile we have lived simply: wisely and happily; we have made good friends; and adventured well.
----Frank Smythe
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.
----John Muir
