Multiple families specifically mentioned feeling safe with young children along, and first-time high-altitude hikers credited their guides with getting them safely to summits they might have otherwise turned back from.
I had a fantastic half-day rock climbing experience with Perry! He called me the day before to learn about my climbing background and discuss my expectations for the climb, which immediately made the experience feel personalized. Perry has a great teaching style, using demonstrations and fun reminders that made learning both effective and enjoyable. He did an excellent job progressively building my skills in a way that made me feel successful and confident throughout the climb. I especially appreciated that he gave me time to work through challenges on my own rather than stepping in too quickly, which really helped me learn and grow as a climber. Perry is professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I truly enjoyed climbing with him and am already looking forward to my next climb with him in September! He was also able to get some fun pictures of me so I could share the experience with my family.
