The Twin Sisters are the closest mountains to those living in Whatcom and Skagit counties, but see the least amount of traffic. For those looking for a truly alpine adventure, the Twin Sisters offer a seemingly endless supply of long, exposed ridges, towers, and summits broken up by small sections of glacier and steep snow. Some objectives can be done in a long day mission, but to truly experience the classics of the range, 3-4 days is a must.

Vamos a la cumbre! Join us for an unforgettable 10-day guided expedition to climb some of Mexico’s most iconic peaks. Your journey begins with two days of exhilarating rock climbing in Peña de Bernal, a striking monolith that soars above the charming town of the same name. Next up is a three day climb of the formidable Iztaccíhuatl (Izta for short), Mexico’s third-highest peak and a symbol of Aztec mythology. After Izta, enjoy a food tour and rest day in Puebla. The expedition culminates with a climb of Pico De Orizaba, Mexico’s highest peak. A rugged 4×4 jeep ride brings you to the base camp from which you’ll make an early morning summit attempt. For the final night of the trip you’ll return to the historic climbers lodge at Servimont, located in a converted century old soap factory.
