Our guide was very solid and procedural. With the kids he was encouraging and supportive but firm about safety.

Trip: Course 1: The Climbing Experience - Half Day

Guide: Daniel R.

We had a spectacular time with Daniel our guide and the climbs he took us on! The scenery of course was beyond measure! Perhaps more importantly on an activity such as this is the competence, capability and caution that our guide exhibited every moment of the day. Being careful of every aspect of our climb and gear, what his safety protocol was, and transferring as much of that knowledge to us as he could possibly share to make sure we knew the safety protocols were well in hand. Excellent!
