Trip: Climb With Blake
With Blake C. on May 17, 2026

I wanted to do a trad climbing refresher having not been on the sharp end on gear in 6 years. Blake created a great experience easing me back into it, getting me used to placing gear again, reviewing my placements, and refreshing my skills. Blake was supportive, knowledgeable and flexible and brought an energetic attitude. The day culminated in my first trad lead in six years.

Best ice climbing trip ever! Nate and Blake took us out for a weekend in frigid conditions but made sure we made the most of our time. They were excellent teachers and always looking out for our safety first and foremost. We learned so much and had a blast. I would definitely go on one of these trips again!

Very happy with my experience on the trip. Relaxed atmosphere, great people, Nate and Blake are both super knowledgeable and experienced and it was an honor to work with both of them. Lots of time spent climbing and working on skills. Safety was always a clear priority and they were happy to answer any questions that came up, directly related or not. Can’t wait to book again!

Blake was an excellent guide. He had a wealth of knowledge of what the routes were and was a great host. He encouraged our group to try new techniques and terrain types. I definitely recommend Blake!
