Anyone have a recommendation(s) for a company that guides people up? Specifically a company that works with new climbers? Any information would be great. Thanks!

check out these people: http://www.rmiguides.com/

i've been told that the shorter ones (i think there used to be a 3 day climb) were designed to just make you get to the top, that it's not really the best program if you plan on continuing to climb other mountains.

i'm planning to go with them in a couple of years.

Thanks for the info. I'm still trying to figure out the appropriate # of climb days for a beginner.

actually you know what, i was wrong about the company.

those are the people i'm talking about, and their 8 day training course. i think the bare minimum of 4-5 days is do-able, but if you want a good set of skills, spending a little longer on training is obviously better. plus their 8 day training course includes a summit!

they also offer a denali prep course, which i think is the 8 day course but in the winter.
