I took an SPI course from Smile Mountain Guides and all 3 days were great hands on learning. They were patience and helped us understand the industry standard. They were very professional while being very fun and friendly.

Trip: ASL - Intro to Traditional Climbing

Guide:

I had a great time! I enjoyed my intro to trad workshop, carrying conversations with others in ASL, meeting new people, and being part of an accessible space where climbers could connect and climb together. I would come again. I also enjoyed the raffles, appreciated the food, and excellent organization the guides and staff put into work to make this event a memorable one.

Trip: ASL - Kiss Fist Climbing Day - General Admission

Guide:

AMAZING experience! Definitely looking forward to next year. Enjoyed all that Smile Mountain Guides offered as far as dinner and high value prizes (even though I didn’t have my best luck). Great time socializing in an outdoor environment and have quality conversations about climbing as well as general life.

Heidi and Jeff from Smile Mountain Guides created the best possible environment for us to succeed in the SPI exam. Their underlying desire to see candidates succeed was evident in everything they did throughout the two days. I highly recommend working with them for all your climbing mentorship needs.
