Had an INCREDIBLE 1st time climb ever with Doug! Kept it interesting for the varying levels of our group and super friendly! Thanks Doug!

Climbing the tower was one thing I've wanted to do for a long time but couldn't seem to find the time. Finally, just called and made the decision. Shankar was my guide, and he made the whole experience happen. He knows how to coach and teach rock craft. Really had a great trip. Hope to do some more climbing again.

What a fantastic experience for our teenage boys! Ben (and for a part of the time, Brandon) took time to share their passion of rock climbing in such a way that sparked (what will probably be) a lifetime interest in the sport. Both of my boys had only limited indoor exposure to rock climbing but that was no problem at all. By the end of the four hours, they were confident and having a blast! Thanks to this fantastic company for adding to our vacation memories!
