Come Climb With Exum!
Welcome to the Exum Guide Service and School of Mountaineering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. During the summer season Exum offers rock climbing instruction and guided mountain climbing. As the oldest guide service in North America, Exum has guided in the Tetons for nearly 100 years. Throughout those years, a countless number of individuals from age 8 – 80 have climbed with us. Our programs range from a fun day on the rocks for the whole family, to serious alpine adventures.
Exum has more AMGA/IMFGA certified guides than any other guide service in the U.S. and with our longtime local knowledge of the Tetons we look forward to providing you with your own personal and custom climbing experience.
