Trip: Front Range Flatirons Climbing Experience

Guide: Jeffrey M.

Jeff ensured that we accomplished all our goals with our flatiron experience which included a memorable experience for my friend new to climbing and some multi pitch leading for me. I appreciate how thoughtful and thorough he was with the entire process and how accommodating he was to us. Can't wait to hire him again!

Such a fun day - I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Jeff created a very productive environment with a helpful balance of technical skill teaching and encouragement to surprise myself practicing the new skills. Kudos on your professionalism, thank you for all the knowledge, and looking forward to future days with Smile.

Trip: Front Range AMGA Mentorship Program

Guide: Jeffrey M.

What an absolutely amazing day of growth and readiness! By the end of the day Jeff had me fully prepared to take my SPI exam. We even got to practice so more advanced skills that built of and refined my individual skill set as a professional. This has been my second AMGA mentorship day and they have both been the most beneficial things I have done to further progress my career.

Trip: Front Range One-Day Trad Climbing Intensive, Golden

Guide: Meg N.

Highly recommend this class! Meg was a great teacher and I learned so much. the class is setup to learn in a group, then while you’re practicing you get one on one time to really allow for constant feedback. I’d highly recommend Smile to everyone!

I’ve been climbing with Jeff for a couple years now. The trip was amazing! Jeff is an exceptional teacher and does a great job of teaching throughout the climb. I’ve learned tons from him throughout the years and it has really accelerated my climbing. I’ll be back!

Trip: Front Range Managing Alpine Terrain Seminar

Jeff combines content knowledge, people skills, and understanding how to teach to make an excellent time for his guests. I have learned something new each time I’ve been out and it makes me a safer climber and better partner when I go out with others. You won’t be disappointed with a day out with Smile Mountain Guides!
