There’s no better way to get these crazy good views!! We felt 100% safe and secure the whole time. We managed 13 climbs in our 1/2 day and Ben gave us step-by-step guidance any time we felt stuck. 10/10

Sam was an enthusiastic, friendly and safe guide. he offered great suggestions, in terms of routes and was encouraging without spraying too much beta! As always, Atlantic is the best climbing outfit in Acadia!
