Trip: Intro to Outdoor Rock Climbing - Full Day (San Diego)
Guide: Drew M.
Trip was to Mission Gorge for intro to outdoor rock climbing. As a beginner I didn’t know what to expect but our guide Drew was outstanding! He immediately made me feel comfortable and addressed all questions in detail. Was extremely fortunate to have him as our guide and I look forward to booking more classes!

Trip: Ski & Splitboarding - Full Day (Eastern Sierra)
Guide: Robert N.
Our objectives for the day were to understand how to plan and find good snow based on recent weather, practice avalanche awareness, explore a new area, and try some new tools (ski crampons and boot crampons). All of that was achieved thanks to our excellent guide, Bob Newcomb. We skinned to the base of Hippie Chutes and continued skinning about 3/4 of the way up. Then, we bootpacked to the top. The snow was awesome and had an amazing ride down. I enjoyed the entire day and learned a lot!

Krystina was fabulous and seamlessly handled our trip. She was patient and creative with our kids, and still managed to accommodate our diverse skill levels. She ended the day by suggesting a fantastic hike that allowed us to enjoy more of the area. Thanks for a wonderful time!
