Trip: Course 2: Family Climbing Experience - Half Day

Guide: Reed T.

Reed was a fantastic guide! He helped build confidence, made us all feel safe, provided opportunity for our family of four (including two tween girls) to challenge ourselves. And he’s a generally great guy for interesting chats! Thanks for a great day!

Guide: Ryan C.

Ryan and Jay are awesome! We climbed a bunch of different routes right over the water and the guides were super helpful during the climbs and knowledgeable about the area. They also gave great recommendations for hikes and food for the rest of our trip!
