2012 Carbonate Range – Purcell Mountains info!
I am very excited to be able to offer you the opportunity to experience the Carbonate range in the comfort and exclusivity of the newly-minted Boutique Mountain Camp format. The area offers numerous objectives in close proximity to our basecamp. The routes vary from walk-ups to cool, technical routes. Our low client – guide ratio, 2-3 clients per guide/leader, will allow us a lot of flexibility with climbing objectives.
