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

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.

I did a 6-hour climbing day with Jeff and it was amazing! We started on second breakfast route which was intimidating but Jeff did a great job walking me through everything and encouraging me on the way up! Experience was incredible and totally worth hiking through the snow :).
