Guide: Matt H.
My aunt and I are visiting Tucson and are relative beginners to rock climbing. We had SUCH a good lesson and fun afternoon in Coronado National Park. Our guide, Matt, was really friendly, supportive, and thoughtful - we couldn't recommend this place enough :) - Jess

Trip: A Glorious Day on Granite Mountain
Guide: Brad B.
I had a great day at Granite Mountain with Brad. We climbed Dislocation Direct in 3 pitches. This was my first multipitch climb, and it went just about as well it could have. It was so fun. Learning about multipitch trad & working on crack climbing were my personal goals for the day, and I definitely met my goals! Brad was knowledgeable, flexible, and professional, which is exactly what you're looking for in a guide. As a result, I felt confident the whole time and was able to successfully test out skills that were newer to me. It all came together very well. A bonus was that almost nobody else was there, at least that day. The solitude and the views were unbeatable. I would say I really got what I was looking for out of my trip. I came away with a better understanding of multipitch trad, which helps inform where climbing takes me in the future. Things could only have been better if there had been more hours in the day, but of course that isn't possible. I live in Massachusetts and am not often in Arizona, but next time I am, I will definitely book again. Thanks, Brad, for helping me on my journey to becoming a more knowledgeable and skilled climber.

Trip: GMG | ERAU Climbing Club Leaders' Summit
Guide: Mac M.
It was really good program out on by the guides. I certainly learned a lot of useful new techniques for belayed repels and anchor build. The event also served as a good idea as for how an event should be run and organized in general. Overall 11/10 would 100% attend again.
