Trip: Sport Climbing Class

Guide: Samuel S.

Andy and Sam are great guides. They made sure they knew what the participants wanted to get out of the class, and they covered everything. They answered all our questions and got us climbing on the routes we wanted to climb. We had a great time and learned a ton. Thanks Andy and Sam! Looking forward to the next time we climb together.

Excellent trip. SCG was communicative in the lead up, and Sam was an excellent guide. His instructing was clear, supportive, and genuinely helpful. I had a great time and walked away feeling more knowledgeable and confident. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested!

Trip: 1/2 Day Private Climbing

Guide:

Very informative with a ton of useful information for anyone either in need of a refresher or who anticipates the need for competence dealing with unexpected challenges on the cliff. Andy made the steps clear and concise and built on each skill while explaining how they are interchangeable for a particular situation.

Trip: Mt Washington Winter Ascent

Guide: Andy S.

Andy was all you could ask for when booking a guide. He made sure every person succeeded regardless of skill-set. He’s a gritty, enthusiastic, awesome guy and will be booking again next season for Mt. Washington once again. He says “did we make smart choices or did we get lucky”, meaning he always puts the safety of the group first.

Trip: Mt Washington Winter Ascent

Guide: Andy S.

Everything was perfect. Andy (our guide) was competent, aware of the environnement and funny. The winter ascent of mount Washington was challenging but the group felt safe and we learned a lot of thing about mountaineering. We were beginners with hiking experience and it was a great activity to push ourselves. The rental material was in perfect condition. 10/10 would recommend !
