Trip: Course 1: The Climbing Experience - Half Day
Guide: Reed T.
Reed was an awesome guide! Our group had people with a wide range of climbing experiences and he made sure that all of us had an amazing time. Definitely made me fall in love with outdoor climbing and I'm excited for the opportunity to do it again.

I had a great time climbing with Max! The views from otter cliffs and the side of Dorr Mountain were stunning. I felt safe the whole time. I would recommend to anyone looking to climb in Acadia.

Thanks for a great first climbing experience, Max! From one teacher to another, you are so skilled with your approach—the perfect balance between teaching, guiding, and coaching. Thanks for giving me a little hoist to give me an extra inch when I needed it. I’m officially hooked on climbing!

This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Acadia! Our guide Reed was amazing from the start and greeted us by our names right when we walked in. He was thorough in his explanations and made sure our safety came first. The rest was just pure exhilaration! My whole family has a great time climbing on the cliffs! Thank you!
