I was looking to do some technical mountaineering training and was looking at places out west until I discovered the International Mountain Climbing School. Winter in the White Mountains simulates high altitude in other areas, and for folks on the East Coast this is a wonderful place to train. The school (located on the 2nd floor of the shop) is... More

Has all the latest gear, plus imported rugs, clothes, etc from Nepal. Basement is a consignment shop with excellent, clean clothes, boots, etc. at a fair price. Good place to get serviceable second hand technical clothing at way below price for new.

My son and I went climbing with Chris and loved it. We climbed Catheral Ledge and I still can't believe we did!

This school and store have been around for many years. They are professionals and are friendly. We climbed with them several times as far back as 1981 and will go out again this week. I recommend them for both beginners and more advanced climbers.

Went on an intro to ice climbing trip over the weekend and loved it. I was extremely impressed with both of our guides and the facility. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. While all three members in our group were novices, they worked with us to ensure that it was a great experience.

Some great values in the downstairs consignment room for serious outdoors folks. This place is an icon for the climbing, hiking and winter mountaineering crowd. Mr. Wilcox is a very helpful owner and a great source for advice.
