Trip: Hiking in Durango / Silverton - Full Day
Guide: Kam W.
Beautiful day hike up castle rock. Kam let us go as slow as we wanted and pointed out many things along the trail. Great personality and made the trip even better. Thank you for our trip highlight.

Kam led us up to Castle Rock. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and led us on the trail at a pace that was comfortable for us. We enjoyed every minute of the hike and can’t wait to book another outing with Kam.

Trip: Durango Rock Climbing - Full Day
Guide: Kam W.
This is my second time climbing with Kam, this time solo and the first time with my niece and nephew. Both times he did a great job catering the trip to the goals and individual capabilities of the group. His attention to detail and safety is very much appreciated and overall I had a great time both times. See you in the spring!

Trip: Jagged Peak
Guide: Kam W.
We hired a fantastic guide from San Juan Expeditions to climb Jagged Mountain. Our guide was Kam Weakley who has an enormous amount of rock climbing and mountain climbing (and snowboarding) experience. We met Kam in Jagged basin and he provided all the ropes and climbing equipment. Kam was very organized and efficient in setting up the ropes and belaying us down. Kam has climbed most of the difficult technical routes in the San Juan mountains and is perfect for the most difficult multi-pitch climbs. This was his 15th time climbing Jagged. He’s also a nice person to climb with. We were on top at 8:30 in the morning and rappelling down the face- right off the very top of the peak. I highly recommend getting a guide like Kam who can ensure your safety and maximize the fun of these more difficult climbing routes. San Juan Expeditions was very reasonable for the price and I’m looking forward to using them again for more fantastic climbing!

Trip: Vestal Peak
Guide:
Excellent 3-night backpack, explore and summit of Vestal Peak via Wham Ridge. Proud to have accomplished this at the ripe age of 71! Over 1,000’ of belayed climbing, and not an easy descent (steep, rutted trail off the backside and circumnavigating Vestal back to high camp). Fun wildlife viewing of deer, pika and marmots. Not crowded, but opportunities to meet and talk with other high country enthusiasts in Vestal Basin. Highly recommended if you’re in shape.
