“Guides were fantastic, Kyle and Patrick blew it out of the water, boulders were great, energy level and planning by the guides was top notch, included all the kids and made sure they had fun and saw success!”
“Nick will make sure you’re safe, comfortable, and challenged if you want to be. My two days with Nick motivated me to make climbing a large part of my every-day life. He’s a class act.”
“It is great to climb outside with a guide. Our group was big, but with 4 guides there was plenty of support. We live near Chicago and have 3 young kids, so it’s unlikely we’d have the time to learn about setting anchors, etc, to climb outside without a guide. But doing a guided day like this 1-2 times a year feels so worth it!”
“You accommodated our complicated schedule, focused on the major themes of climbing safely, tailored instruction to our learning styles and attention spans, and made the day a very enjoyable experience. You exceeded my expectations as a professional and an educator.”
“All good. I can’t think of a single thing that could have been better. Low key, friendly environment we were about to learn a lot and got to make several runs up the rocks on a beautiful day.”
“The best parts were the hike to our class location and our teachers. Mark and Jordan did an excellent job with not only providing information, but teaching it in a way where everyone felt comfortable asking questions and being able to grasp and understand concepts quickly. There were no bad parts of the class.”
