Trip: Mt Washington Winter Ascent

Guide: Andy S.

Andy was the best guide a girl could ask for. He was patient, informative, calm, and ready to handle any situation that could’ve gone wrong on the mountain. He is skilled, funny, and the best guide you can possibly get. 100/10 recommend. I learned so much and felt safe the entire time because of Andy

Trip: Intro to Ice Climbing (New York)

Guide: Andy S.

Such an amazing introduction to ice climbing! Andy explained the technique and basics in a really helpful way, and it was so nice to have him lead the routes so that I could just focus on practicing my technique and having fun on top rope. We got to climb some amazing ice, and I really felt like I was getting the hang of it by the end of the day!

Amazing class and education! Andy paces his instruction to the student, and slowly walks back through any issues we had.

Trip: Self-Rescue Clinic

Guide: Andy S.

The self-rescue course is worth it for peace of mind alone, but the skills learned are completely priceless if ever needed to save yourself or your partner from a sticky situation. Andy makes it fun and informative!

Trip: Trad Climbing Clinic

Guide: Andy S.

Matt and Andy were so awesome! Going in, I knew next to nothing about trad climbing, but by the end of the day I felt that I’d learned a lot and was feeling pretty confident about my gear placements. 100% recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking with them again.

Trip: Pitches and Pints

Guide: Andy S.

Amazing trip. Andy is an incredibly knowledgeable guide. He’s especially good at helping you feel comfortable trying harder routes. Andy and Small Cliffs Guiding were the first to take me outdoor climbing, and there is a reason I’ve signed up to go out with them every weekend since.
