Climb to new heights on rock and ice in Vermont.

I’m Mischa Tourin.

I have been climbing and guiding people up mountains for nearly two decades. Climbing is my passion, and I started Sterling Mountain Guides to share the challenges and joys of the sport with others across Vermont.

Through our guided adventures, you’ll see a side of the Green Mountain State you won’t see anywhere else. You’ll learn skills in a fun and supportive environment that will help you on and off the rock for a lifetime.

We’re here for you.

Sterling Mountain Guides supports climbers of all experience and ability levels. Whether you’re just starting out, transitioning from the gym to real rock, or a seasoned climber visiting Vermont, we offer customized experiences to take your adventure to the next level.

Want to push your limits? Build your technical skills? Do things you never thought you could? See the world from new perspectives?

We’ll be alongside you every step of the way.
