Skills, Safety, and the Experience of a Lifetime

  • "I had an excellent lesson with Doug going over multi-pitch climbing skills. Learned and practiced a lot. The site selection for the lesson was excellent, and he took his time ensuring I had a good understanding of the skills we were learning. Super fun!"

  • "Amazing experience! Our guide Doug was helpful, kind and very knowledgeable. He ensured we understood all the safety as well as learning skills if we wanted to climb on our own. Highly recommend!"

    - Kim

  • "SO worth the cost literally coolest thing i have ever done!! very communicative and respectful leading up to the excursion, and pete and doug were so patient and encouraging during our session. we knew we were in good hands. also loved that the experience was catered very much to the individual climber, and the guides were very accommodating in helping everyone in the group achieve their goals for the day. 10/10 would climb with golden mountain guides again."
