Description

Mount Marcy stands at 5,343 feet (1,629 meters) as the highest point in New York. It’ll be our pleasure to guide you up to the summit of such an iconic mountain of USA.

Leaving New York City early in the morning, we’ll make our way to the High Peaks Region. There we’ll do a short hike to get well acclimatized and familiarized with the mountain gears. At night we will enjoy a hearty dinner and sleep at the traditional Adirondak Loj. On day 2 we’ll get up at dawn and get ready for our goal: ascend Mount Marcy!

The round trip is 24 km long with and elevation gain of 1066 meters. As the summit surpasses the treeline, it is common to face gusts of wind that reach 60 mph. It’s important to let you know that although our goal is to conquer the Mount Marcy’s summit, we will not hesitate to change the itinerary if weather conditions don’t help. Your safety is always our priority!

This trip implies a good fitness condition and is a great training for those considering to hike Mount Everest’s base camp or to go for challenging treks in the Alps.

Join us and reach the top roof of New York under the supervision of local certified mountain guides! Book your place now.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
