Loved Echo Crag and Artists Bluff as our sites for the course. The weather was usual New England so we got hit with a little precipitation and some clouds but then sunshine was right behind it. Perfect weather would've taken away from learning how to adapt with the environment and keep value and quality of experience. Alex was amazing! Very clear with our objectives as our group progressed with assisted ease. Each day our learned skills where tested and compounded. Alex had concise and experienced answers to all our questions (especially mine) and I really appreciate the perspective he's given me on what it is to be a guide in our outstanding climbing community!

This exceeded all expectations!! Chris was very accommodating and knowledgeable about Rumney. He took the time to break things down and answered every question that I had. Chris is clearly passionate about climbing and teaching others. Can’t wait to climb with Mooney Mountain again in the future!

Laurie was really great about contacting us in advance to discuss what we hoped to gain from our guided experience. On the day of the climb she discussed our options for the climb with regard to weather and risk then gave us choices. The climb was both enjoyable and instructive. Laurie was very professional and I always felt safe but also at ease as I would feel with a friend. At the end of the day and afterward in an email she shared resources that we might like to pursue and welcomed us to contact her with questions in the future! I woukd love to climb with Laurie again and will definitely recommend her to any friends looking to get into ice climbing, rock climbing or mountaineering
