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!

I was nervous about booking the 8 hour for my family teens 13,15 and 15. But it was the perfect amount of time. Gabe and Zane were knowledgeable and fun. Honestly if you can afford the longer climb it’s really the best, because the active climb time is not 8 hours there breaks for water, rest, snacks and game plan time so really in order to get the most out of your day you really need the 8 hours.

We had a great time! They even got our timid 5 year old to climb. Everyone was very nice and focused on safety. I highly recommend.
