Jeff and Jeff made my first outdoor climbing trip wonderfully safe, comfortable, and feeling awesome! They were full of encouragement, patience, and joy. Highly recommend!

5 stars

Jeff was an excellent guide for a group that included kids 6-10 years old. He helped a few work through some fear and frustration. Everyone grew through the day. Could not have been happier. We’ll be back.
