Teddy is a great guide! He taught me several technical skills I wanted to learn and also took me up some really fun climbs.
Ed was a great guide. He checked the weather and met us at 5:15 a.m. so we could get a full day of climbing in before it started raining. Totally safe as one of us was a beginner. He made sure we had fun and were challenged. Great communication with Doug in advanced. I contacted numerous companies and I'm so glad I chose this one.
I did a small group Sunset Rappelling class with Doug recently and it was really great! Doug was so chill, he explained everything we were going to do, addressed all our worries and concerns, and even had us practice the moves while standing. Given how nervous I was about rappelling, Doug’s relaxed confidence and technical proficiency in setting everything up with backups made me feel excited about the rappel. I would highly recommend - the views were spectacular from atop the Gunks and it was such a thrill!
Just now getting around to a review, but I had a great time with Mountain Skills Climbing Guides this summer! I was an experienced climber lacking trad skills and my guide Tim took me on some super fun classic routes, a little multi-pitch, and some top-rope burnouts on an 11c. Great mix of stuff and all in a half day! One of the best guiding services for value as well, from my research.
Meeting up was easy, and the team had a bunch of gear for use (even climbing shoes, though I recommend packing your own if you have them). Felt super safe the whole time and got some sweet pictures too.
I took Mountain Skills' top-rope anchor building course along with two friends. We had a great day at the Gunks with our guide, Mark! Over the course of a full day, we learned a variety of techniques for setting up anchors on bolted routes as well as utilizing natural structures for building safe climbing anchors. We even got to climb a handful of routes we set throughout the day. I'm looking forward to putting these new skills to use...Thanks Mountain Skills!!!
