Trip: Course 2: Family Climbing Experience - Half Day

Guide: Sam D.

Sam was wonderful with our kids! Our 6 year old was nervous but really wanted to climb. Sam did a great job navigating that with encouragement but not pressure. Would recommend as a great family activity regardless of climbing experience!

We were a group of three who had previous climbing experience. Our guide did a great job at choosing climbs that were tons of fun for everyone. He even set up spectator ropes for the rest of us to safely watch whoever was climbing at the time.
