AMG COVID Requirements for Rock
Climbing and Guiding
As we all look for ways to get outside it’s important to do so in a responsible manner that promotes the health and safety of both participants and guides. Since opening in 1994, Acadia Mountain Guides has had a strong reputation for leading the way in safety and instructional practices and has now established the following Covid-19 pandemic guidelines that exceed those recommended by the CDC, the state of Maine, American Camp Association and professional guide associations.
Since 1993 AMGCS has been providing climbing instruction and guiding to discerning clients from around the world. Our diversity of clients and programs speaks to the quality and value provided by our premium service. Acadia Mountain Guides Climbing School is Maine’s only full service climbing school. We are committed to sharing our passion for the mountains with you throughout the seasons from the shores of coastal Maine to the peaks of the world’s greatest ranges.
Yes, avalanches do happen in New England and each year a number of backcountry enthusiasts are injured or killed in New England from avalanches. Take your mountain knowledge to a level that helps you and your group stay safe in the backcountry regardless of where you travel.

It matters who teaches your course! All of the following courses are instructed by school owner Jon Tierney. Jon is one of the nation’s most experienced wilderness medicine instructors with over 1000 teaching days and tons of real-life mountain rescue experience. He is a flight paramedic and an internationally licensed IFMGA mountain guide. Visit Jon’s bio for more info.
