Climb the Tallest Peak in the Northeast.

Come visit the legendary Mount Washington, celebrated as the home of the "world's worst weather!" Rising majestically to 6,288 feet, it reigns supreme over the Presidential Peaks. Summiting Mount Washington requires peak physical fitness, unyielding determination, and a touch of luck from the weather gods. With our guides' extensive experience—counting hundreds of days on this mountain—let us lead you on this unforgettable adventure.

A custom climbing day with Vertex Mountain Guides is just that: a day tailored to your goals and desires. We strive to meet our clients where they are at and tailor the experience to you. Your previous climbing experience, goals and desired learning outcomes will determine how we spend the day.

Booking a custom day with Vertex Mountain Guides is more than just a day out on the mountain. Your guide will contact you in advance to understand your preferences and begin designing a personalized experience. Every aspect of the day is customizable to suit your requirements. Whether it's starting earlier or choosing a more technical route, we can make it happen.

We aim to build lasting partnerships and are committed to providing follow-up support after your day to assist you on your path in the mountains.
