climbing permits
Mountain access passes
Climbing permits are official authorizations required to ascend certain mountains or enter protected wilderness areas.
Governments and land managers issue them to limit environmental impact, manage crowds, and track climbers for safety: We applied for climbing permits six months before our Denali expedition.
Popular peaks like Everest and Rainier have permit systems with fees and quotas.
