Trip: Course 1: The Climbing Experience - Half Day

Guide: Aramy C.

Aramy was the best guide we could have hoped for. He established confidence in himself and the safety of the equipment through his calm, peaceful and knowledgeable demeanor. This was a beautiful first outdoor climbing experience, and a wonderful way to begin our journey into the world of climbing.

Trip: Instruction Course - Half Day

Guide: Aramy C.

Before my trip my goal was to learn at least one new climbing skill, while also getting a decent amount of climbs in. I met with Aramy at the headquarters and he asked me what my experience and goals were. He listened very well, and when we got to Otter Cliffs he taught me about how to anchor cams into rock cracks. I also got a great review of rappeling and various knots/rope work. We got 5 climbs in and I learned a lot!

Trip: Course 1: The Climbing Experience - Half Day

Guide: Kincaid M.

We had a great time! Kincaid did an amazing job providing a great experience for our group with mixed levels. I was a total beginner to climbing and Kincaid was very calm, reassuring and encouraging. We had a fun time and amazing views from the cliffs overlook the ocean.
