We had a blast climbing with Sam and Kincaid! They kept us safe, taught us a lot about climbing and were just fun to be with! We'll definitely be climbing with Atlantic Climbing School again next time we're in Maine!

We had a great time with Ryan. Very calm and patient with our two toddlers new to climbing. Explained all the things I asked about as I am newer to leading. Highly recommend hanging out with them and seeing a beautiful place to climb!
