Guide: Aramy C.
Aramy picked the perfect spot for my 7 and 11 year to climb! My children said it was one of their favorite experiences while in Acadia. They both felt like true climbers and felt safe and and confident. Aramy paced the trip well, and demonstrated patience, kindness, and skill as an instructor. Thanks for a great experience!

What an incredible day! I had complete confidence in our guide's (Murphy's) competence in providing for us a safe and thoroughly enjoyable time out on Otter Cliffs. I fully recommend this guide, and the experience. I loved it so much I will be coming back next week with another climbing buddy!
