Colorado Rockies Mountaineering
Colorado had a record-setting winter and colder than usual spring, with snow sticking around longer than in previous years. Access to some peaks may be easier (less exposed scree!) and more technical skills are required for others (steep snow, crampons, and ice axe required). Backcountry road access may be delayed longer than usual due to winter avalanche debris blocking terrain. Get in touch to arrange alpine skills clinics or local peak ascents. Steep skiing may be possible into July!

European Alps.
I will be headed over to the central Alps in July. I have some available dates if interested in Switzerland, Chamonix, or Austria. Nothing beats the Alps in summer. Light backpacks, good food and drink, good rock and unparalleled access to high elevations.

Acadia National Park should be on your list of fine granite climbing above the beautiful Penobscot Bay.

Colorado Ice
Early season ice is a fickle beast but there are some prime corners of the Rockies to go scratch around if weather permits. November can also be a time of amazing weather that allows rock climbing in the Desert, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, South Platte, and Flatirons.

Canada
Early season can be exceptional in Canada. Whistler/Blackcomb tends to open around Thanksgiving and depending on snowfall offers a jump start to your winter ski touring season and avalanche education.
