Testimonials
I reached out to the team inquiring on a custom climb with a very short notice, and we were able to make it all work
"Justin and the guides at Skyline Mountain Guides are the best. I reached out to the team inquiring on a custom climb with a very short notice, and we were able to make it all work. Justin engaged promptly and offered several options in support of my climbing goals, including which objectives made the most sense given the time of year and my climbing history. The guide (Colten) was absolutely fantastic and very thoughtful throughout the 2-day climb. Highly recommend Skyline Mountain Guides and will definitely climb with them in the future!"
Dallas P

I’ve never met a guide who is as knowledgeable, skilled, and most of all calm and collected as Justin
“I’ve climbed with Justin at Skyline multiple times now and I can honestly say, compared to the various major guiding companies I’ve climbed with, I’ve never met a guide who is as knowledgeable, skilled, and most of all calm and collected as Justin. Every time I feel like I don’t know something or got myself into trouble Justin has always gotten my back. He always knows exactly what to do and when to do it, is extremely diligent, and ALL while being the most fun and entertaining, coolest dude ever. I love every single climb I’ve done with him, learned so much while having a great, confident time. 100% recommend over any other guide."
Ryan M

His focus on making sure his clients feel safe and comfortable, physically and mentally, is incredibly
"Justin at Skyline Mountain Guides is by far the best guide I have ever climbed with. His focus on making sure his clients feel safe and comfortable, physically and mentally, is incredible. 5/5 technically skilled 5/5 people skills 5/5 knowledge 5/5 communication When booking Justin or anyone at Skyline Mountain Guides, you can be certain you are booking an absolute work class top of the line guide that will get you up whatever goal and objectives you have, big or small."
Lennart H

phenomenal guide, always focused on safety and able to deliver an amazing overall experience
"Skyline and Justin are amazing! We went up the North Ridge on Mt. Baker back in June 2024, ice climbing in Vail in early 2025, and just knocked out another Cascades ridge this July 2025. Justin is a phenomenal guide, always focused on safety and able to deliver an amazing overall experience. I've done a lot of trips over the years with the "bigger" guiding companies and Skyline is able to curate the best guides and deliver a premium, personalized experience. I'll likely be doing 2-3 trips with them a year (mix of alpine and rock) for as long as my legs and forearms will let me! Justin - thank you!!!"

Very prompt and thorough in responding to questions about gear, schedule, etc.
"I had a wonderful experience summiting Mt Baker with Porter McMichael as a guide from Skyline Mountain Guides. Prior to the climb Porter and Justin Sackett (owner of Skyline) were very prompt and thorough in responding to questions about gear, schedule, etc. During the drive to the trailhead and the hike to camp Porter was very friendly and we had a great conversation. When it came time to prepare for the climb and then actually do the climb he switched into a "taking care of business" mode. This was great as I felt reassured that he was completely focused on getting me up and back down safely. In addition to coaching me on climbing techniques and how to use various pieces of gear Porter threw in a lot of fun and interesting information about the local geology, plants and animals."

These guys are legitimate professionals and made us feel confident and comfortable from start to finish
We had a great trip on Mt. Shuksan with Jesse and Tavish. These guys are legitimate professionals and made us feel confident and comfortable from start to finish. Finished up exhausted yesterday but already discussing future trips. I was impressed enough (and think I speak for the group) when I say I would definitely contact Skyline before I booked anything with anyone else. 10/10 recommend.

Best Mountain Guide service ever! It was my first time climbing, and I had an absolute blast
"Best Mountain Guide service ever! It was my first time climbing, and I had an absolute blast. I felt super safe the entire time and that led to a fun and exciting experience. I'm horrible with gear but our guide was always helpful and had a super positive attitude the entire trip! I highly recommend Skyline Mountain Guides to someone just beginning in mountaineering all the way to a seasoned expert."
John C

Skyline and my guide James did a fantastic job and I have zero complaints, not even a nitpick
"Skyline and my guide James did a fantastic job and I have zero complaints, not even a nitpick. We summited Mt. Baker during late season and the conditions while descending were less than ideal. The hot weather had resulted in a crevasse littered snow field which could have resulted poorly if not for expert guiding. I will be climbing with Skyline and James again!"
