Trip: Ouray Via Ferrata

I was one of 7 women who did the climb guided by Cat and Jason and they were AMAZING! The whole experience was so much fun. They were both so helpful and encouraging throughout the whole climb, especially since a few of us didn’t really have climbing experience. I could not recommend them enough! Thanks for an awesome trip:)

Cat was a wonderful guide. She was very patient with our family (we moved very slowly) and was very encouraging. Her enthusiasm for climbing is contagious!

Trip: Half Day Private Ice Climbing

Amazing experience! My husband and I were guided by Logan and Brandon We began around 9am (they called us the night before to confirm and make sure we again knew what to bring) The day was beautiful and Logan is native to Ouray so he was very knowledgeable about the cliffs and the best places to climb. It was my first time climbing while my husband had a little experience. Both Logan and Brandon were so great, making sure we were comfortable, explaining in understandable terms the best way to climb and techniques and probably most important (after safety ) is they were patient and you can tell they both LOVE what they do and want to share and teach so others can enjoy! We will definitely do this again and if we are out in the Spring/Summer will check out what they have to offer! Thank you both!!

My wife and I booked a half day ice climbing trip. We had Logan and Brandon as our guides. Both were very helpful and knowledgeable about ice climbing. They were very patient with us and guided us to a successful day of ice climbing. If you are thinking about trying ice climbing I highly recommend Base Camp to guide you to a successful adventure
