Exploring the web, you’ll find a range of prices offered for guided climbing days.  In making your comparisons, it is important for you to consider the whole range of variables that go into the final pricing—and the final experience.  Among the many questions to consider are: How much communication will your guide service provide in helping you to prepare?  Will you be communicating with office staff or your actual guide?  Are there surcharges for longer days/overnights?  What are the teaching and leadership qualifications of your guides?  Taking into account these and other factors, we believe you’ll find Adventure Spirit to be the optimal value.  If you have any questions regarding what sets our services above the rest in terms of performance and pricing, please contact us to learn about the Adventure Spirit edge.

Additional Pricing Options

  • For larger group adventure options (more than 4 people), please contact us to discuss your adventure aspirations and the options and pricing available. 
  • Pricing for our trip options such as the Winter Presidential Traverse or Mexican Volcano Mountaineering can be found on the pages describing each trip.
  • If you have a specific multi-day objective in mind, contact us to discuss pricing options.
  • Half-day rates can be arranged as well—contact us for details.
  • We are currently offering special pricing discounts for weekday bookings.  Discounts vary according to the dates, duration, and group size.  Please contact us for more information. 

Cancellation & Change Policy

Our cancellation and change policy helps our guides with job security.  Guides with job security are able to make a career out of it, and hence, excel at it.  With that in mind, Adventure Spirit maintains the following cancellation and change policies.

General

  • A 30% non-refundable deposit secures your adventure dates.
  • Full payment is requested no later than 30 days before your adventure.

Weather Cancellation & Changes

As you probably know, the weather in the Northeast can be fickle.  As the saying goes, "There typically is no such thing as bad weather, only bad preparation," and we will assist you in being prepared for the weather and activities of the day.  If our guides determine that it is unreasonable to continue with your chosen adventure based on current or forecasted weather (and avalanche conditions in some cases), they will attempt to contact you as quickly as possible to present and discuss suitable alternative adventure objectives.  If the weather is clearly deteriorating and we must cancel the day's activities, you can reschedule your adventure for up to one year from the original date planned.

Personal Cancellations & Changes

We maintain the following policies for personal cancellations:

  • For cancellations made more than two weeks from the adventure start date, 30% of the adventure fee is non-refundable and the remainder will be issued as adventure credit valid for one year.
  • For cancellations made less than two weeks from the adventure start date, 50% of the adventure fee in non-refundable and the remainder will be issued as adventure credit valid for one year.
  • For cancellations made less than one week from the adventure start date, there are no refunds or credit given.

We strongly encourage everyone to consider purchasing travel insurance.  Click here for a link to one company we've used in the past.
