Trip: Front Range Managing Alpine Terrain Seminar
Guide: Jeffrey M.
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!

Trip: Front Range Eldorado Canyon State Park Climbing Experience
Guide: Jeffrey M.
Had an amazing day out in Eldorado Canyon with Jeff! We were quickly able to align on goals via email before the trip and Jeff had the perfect rec for a day out. We had a great mix of scenery, challenges and fun climbs. He seemed super knowledgeable of the area and even snuck in a little low trafficked hidden gem and another stunning climb off a rappel. When I come back to CO, I’d love the opportunity to climb with Jeff again and absolutely recommend him as your future guide.

Trip: Front Range One-Day Trad Climbing Intensive, Eldo
Guide: Jeffrey M.
We had the most incredible experience with Jeff on our one-day Trad extensive trip! He was extremely knowledgeable and patient, walking us through every step of the process. We felt incredibly safe and also empowered throughout the entire day. We would recommend this guide service to anyone and look forward to booking our next experience with them :)

Trip: Front Range Managing Alpine Terrain Seminar
Guide: Jeffrey M.
My fiancée and I took an alpine instructional seminar with Jeff and Meg.Jeff lives up to everything the other reviews before have stated. He is a teacher's teacher and is honest, keeps things simple, fun, and funny. I would add that he goes above and beyond to deliver the whole package as a guide. He delivers an experience, unlike most guides I have gone out with from different companies. He also should add the skill of being a great photographer to his resume. The other person that should be

Trip: Front Range Flatirons Climbing Experience
Guide: Jeffrey M.
This was an adventure I took with a buddy of mine right after we graduated college, before we were about to move. Neither of us had much climbing experience (I had none) but Jeff assured us safety from the very beginning. The climb was challenging and put us both out of our comfort zone, but there was never a moment that Jeff didn't have our backs. Reaching the peak gave all of us an incredible sense of accomplishment and was one of the best experiences of my life! We'll never forget it.
