Our day with Alex was awesome! We didn’t want a cookie cutter guided day where everything is done for you, we wanted to learn and improve our skills and that’s what we got! Alex was great and made sure we knew what we were doing and that we felt comfortable taking our climbing to the next level. If you have the time, I definitely recommend the two day as there is so much to learn! When back in the area, we would definitely call on Alex and Granite Mountain Guides again! They got back to me quickly, were able to accommodate our short notice request and customized our day to exactly what we wanted! Thank you guys!

The Dells were a gorgeous place to climb. The guide (Alex) was fantastic. I recommend this to climbers of all levels looking to experience climbing outdoors in the area.
