Mike was an amazing guide. He created a memorable day for my partner and I who had different climbing abilities. He was super encouraging and pushed us to really get the most of the experience!

We couldn't have been happier with our son's climb with Michael! He assessed his abilities and made sure he had a number of both "for fun" and challenging routes over the course of the morning. I HIGHLY recommend this company for any climbing experiences in the National Park area!

Second time climbing with them and it's always a good time. It was the highlight of our trip. Thanks Mike!
