We had such a great time today. Our guides were very knowledgeable. We had an age range of 7 year old - adult and they worked very well with all of us. So thankful for this experience.

My husband and I climbed with our 3 kids (10, 8, 7). Chris and Darryl were fantastic guides - they provided everything we needed (even offered up an extra raincoat for my daughter!). They were very calm and patient with the kids, encouraging them each step of the way. When we got rained out, they graciously rescheduled. Overall - exceeded our expectations!

5 stars

They were wonderful! Came with a group of 20 (mostly teen) novice climbers and the instructors were phenomenal. They were reassuring yet challenged us in the best ways. Could not recommend them more.
