Trip: Climb With Blake

Guide: Blake C.

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.

Trip: Custom Trip

Guide: Nate M., Andrew D.

Nate and Andrew provided us with a very adventurous and fun climbing event on the rocks. Not only were they fun to be with but also very knowledgeable about their craft and very patient with our group. Safety was a top priority and as group leader I appreciated that very much. The group members will be taking about this adventure for a long time!!

Trip: Ice Climbing Trip

Guide: Nate M., Blake C.

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!
