Education in the Mountains!
At Kling Mountain Guides, we value education as well as guiding. If you want to hire somebody to just drag you up a hill, look elsewhere. If you want to go into the mountains, achieve your goals, have an amazing time and come back with more knowledge then when you left, you have come to the right place! At KMG we take education very seriously. Our guides and instructors don’t only work for here. Everybody on the KMG staff has a heavy involvement in other education institutions as well. Educational programs that KMG guides have involvement in include but are not limited to are listed on the right.
