Montana Mountaineering
About Us
About MMA
Montana Mountaineering Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to promote the values of rock climbing, mountaineering, and backcountry travel.
MMA fulfills its mission by offering a variety of instructional and experiential programs including guided trips and educational courses focused on alpine endeavors. The offerings span a wide array of rock, ice and snow activities that range from competitively priced high-end guided days to subsidized or free programs targeting lower income populations, young adults and minority groups. Proceeds from the revenue-generating activities help subsidize these other offerings.
This operational model is based on our belief that the mountains that we love and cherish have transformational powers that benefit individuals and society alike. With our wide range of offerings, we strive to lower the entry and participation barriers that might inhibit practitioners from getting or sustaining quality mentorship, instruction, education or guidance to explore the mountains safely and responsibly. We aim to support our community with these services regardless of economic background, previous experience, gender, age, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity.
All our programs are taught and run by professional and experienced staff. We strive to create working conditions that allow us to hire and retain the most qualified and knowledgeable guides and educators.

I had the opportunity to attend a mentorship day catered towards future ice climbing instructors with Lindsay Fixmer, and it did not disappoint. Lindsay went above and beyond to ensure each of us was able to take away knowledge from the day with her. Lindsay's efforts began weeks before the field day, and it was very obvious that she gathered precourse information from each of us and customized a day catered to each of our needs. Whether you are an aspiring guide (like myself) seeking mentorship or a first time ice climber, Lindsay will truly provide you with a top notch product targeted towards your needs. I was impressed with Lindsay's teaching, clear & concise communication, risk management, and wealth of knowledge around ice climbing.

Trip: Custom Rock Climbing
Guide: Wolf P.
Wolf was an amazing guide. My wife and I had previous climbing experience, but after some time off we wanted a technical refresher and to climb some nice routes in Montana. Wolf connected with us before the trip to see what we were looking for and to ensure we had all the logistics needed for the day. We spent 7.5 hours on the rock; climbing, learning, and enjoying the outdoors. Wolf is super knowledgeable and easy to chat with. He answered all our questions and showed us some climbing areas that were closer to where we were staying. We will climb with Wolf and MMA again!!
