Our Mission is Simple:
take the High ground- Every person. every reason. Every Peak.
WHERE WE GO
Mount Kilimanjaro is our flagship. It’s the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing peak in the world. It’s where most of our journeys begin, but not where they end.
Every expedition can be customized to include iconic routes around the globe, from Everest Base Camp to the Inca Trail to summits in your own backyard
Wherever your mountain is, we’ll help you take the high ground.
WHO WE ARE
High Ground Expeditions was founded by a veteran of the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division, a unit forged in mountain warfare and driven by purpose.
The mountains teach us it’s never just about the summit, it’s about the climb within. Every step forward is a step toward clarity, strength, and purpose.
Whether you’re a first time trekker or a seasoned climber, our journeys are designed to help you take your high ground.
why climb with us
Think of us as the farm to table version of expeditions. Smaller, personal, and connected. Guided by our commitments to Mission, People, and Planet, every climb is authentic, responsible, and built on trust.
mission
Our mission is to help every climber build resilience and find purpose through challenge and community. You will climb with guides and teammates who value the journey as much as the summit.
people
Every expedition is powered by local guides who know the mountain best. Personally vetted and fairly paid, they lead smaller groups with personal attention, making every climb authentic, connected, and safe.
planet
The mountains shape us, so we protect them. Every expedition follows Leave No Trace, minimizes waste, and partners with those who honor the land and culture, preserving these high grounds for future generations.
Climb with purpose
For our military veterans, the mission continues.
Our Charlie Mike Series helps provide life changing climbs to those who’ve served, promoting movement, connection, and renewed purpose.
When you climb with us, you help a veteran continue theirs.
