Trip: A Day in the Dells | Private
Guide: Scott M.
My family and I booked a full day climbing at Watson Lake and had the best experience with Scott! As a group with mixed levels of climbing experience ranging from brand new to moderately experienced, he did an amazing job finding routes for everyone to have fun and challenge themselves. He went above and beyond to show technique and give amazing tips so we all left feeling more confident on the rock. Not to mention, the amazing photos he took for us to remember the day! We’ve booked climbing guides before but Scott truly went above and beyond and made the entire experience so incredible. The whole family was raving about him the rest of the week! Thank you Scott & Granite Mountain Guides!!

Ann and Scott were amazing guides and fine-tuned the day to fulfill the goals of the climbers present. This was an awesome day and really built my confidence with lead climbing and belaying. I sent my first outdoor lead!

Had a blast slab climbing for the first time ever! Morgan and Ann were knowledgeable and friendly. We learned how to tie the figure of 8 knots, how to belay & climbing techniques. I had a lot of fun, highly recommend this guided tour!
