We booked a full day climbing with Dave and he was really flexible as the weather was poor and we were going to have to make an early start so he was happy to start a bit later. When we turned up late he was really chilled out about it and got us excited for our day. He had clearly listened to what we wanted to achieve during our day and brought us to a couple of spots that met all our criteria for challenging climbs within our level and keeping us in the best conditions given the rainfall the previous night. He was great fun, very encouraging and a great teacher and never once made us feel uncomfortable when we had difficulty on certain routes. He even brought is to a few areas that had amazing views which was fantastic as the new river is such an beautiful place to climb. New river climbing was our first outdoor climb after being in climbing gyms for a few months and we couldn’t have asked for more from an intro to outdoor climbing!

I purchased a groupon for a 4 hour climbing/rappelling class months ago, and finally got around to using it Columbus day weekend. The trip was planned via email and they were really flexible with us rescheduling due to a rainy forecast. It did end up raining the day of our trip, but our instructor(Dave Wolff) was great and brought us to a place with overhanging rock so we could climb in dryer conditions. He was really great at explaining different techniques, how all the gear works and was very encouraging. We spent more time climbing than I had expected which was great! It was definitely worth the trip and I can’t wait to get back out there.

Truly excellent service from tour guide Grant Price. He was extremely professional, patient, and clearly has a wealth of knowledge and a true love of mountaineering. He is an excellent teacher, and customized our day with a great balance of technical instruction and climbing. I cannot use enough superlatives to describe the service we received today. I will be telling all of our friends here in Pittsburgh to go to Grant. Well worth the drive and cost of the lesson. When you go, ask for Grant!
