California 14ers Climbs
Guided Climbs Of The Fourteen Thousand Foot Peaks in California
International Alpine Guides is one of the few mountain guiding companies that can guide all of the California Fourteeners where guiding is allowed
There are twelve “official” California fourteen thousand foot peaks that have at least 300 feet of prominence from them to the next high point and we guide eleven of them. There are other peaks and high points in California that are over 14,000 feet just not with the generally accepted prominence and we can guide you up those as well!
